Private equity firm Sumeru Equity-backed GoGuardian, a K-12 EdTech company, completed the merger with Pear Deck, a student engagement platform. Financial terms were not disclosed. The merger brings together two of the fastest-growing companies in education under a single umbrella and will enable a strong partnership that drives expansion into new, but interconnected growth areas, while supporting both organizations’ longstanding missions to help ensure K-12 learning environments are safer and more engaging for students. “Over the past five years, that focus has manifested as a set of tools that are simple, effective, and improve outcomes for all learners. We’re eager to team up with GoGuardian to develop new, innovative solutions to support educators, students, and leaders,” Riley Eynon-Lynch, Pear Deck Co-Founder and CEO.
