Global edtech venture capital reached approximately 1 billion US dollars in the first half of 2026, down 26% year on year, according to HolonIQ data, yet AI education saw a financing boom in the third quarter of this year, with funds flowing to increasingly specific education scenarios such as AI tutoring and language learning on the student side, grading and assessment on the teacher side, and children's AI hardware. According to incomplete statistics from Duojing, there were at least 33 AI education-related financings worldwide in the first 9 months of 2026, with 14 in the first half of the year and 19 from July to September, accounting for 57.6%; starting from July, AI education financing remained above 6 cases for three consecutive months. Of the 33 financings, Pre-seed, seed round, angel and angel+ rounds totaled 22, accounting for 66.7%. Ten-million-dollar level financings emerged: a K-12 AI math tutoring project received 12 million US dollars in the seed round, and an AI English learning product completed a 22 million US dollars Series B round.
