Edupia raises Series A to close the education gap in Vietnam

EdTech startup Edupia is betting that personalized AI tutoring can do what Vietnam's underfunded schools cannot: give poor students a fighting chance at escaping poverty through education. The company's $15 million Series A funding round comes as Southeast Asia's tiger economy grapples with a widening skills divide that threatens its competitive edge in manufacturing and tech. If Edupia's model works, it could reshape how developing nations approach education inequality—or become another cautionary tale of Silicon Valley solutions meeting messy local reality.
