Hello 👋
Six years since tracking learning product innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean, the 2026 LATAM EdTech 100 cohort shows financial and operational systems growing in K-12 and workforce, holding three-quarters of the list. Financing specialists such as Mattilda, Educbank and Principia Educação are underwriting schools' operating stability, while products with AI-native positioning has quadrupled since 2020 and focused around instructional support in the classroom rather than tutoring. For decision makers and educational leaders, scale is being refined in this market by how well it may solve an institution's operating problem, versus expanding a product's reach. Expect the 2027 cohort to weigh disclosed outcomes as a proxy to growth and funding size.
