A variety of reasons, including the growing popularity of blended learning methods, may point to strong success. Notable events during this period include the New Jersey Department of Education approving a pre-qualified tutoring provider, Nerdy’s Varsity Tutors, as the 2023/24 High-Impact Tutoring Program. The provider of cloud-based software for K12, PowerSchool, partnered with AMISA on November 28 for the expansion of PowerSchool’s channel partner program in Latin America. In addition, Instructure struck a partnership with Khan Academy to create an AI-powered tutoring and teaching assistant tool. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/5b7XNqtkSFYmkNY1NL_i3UaGbinIPe4_I46NeXkkBlsCQ68Nw2XT5RApSGw5s7Zh-70EO2Sfq_5cNG9BruPAs9aki2s1HD4ZW2sxUZgWCHx7Y4qwmJDobJIfN1zYCd8XqNhH6xGNZ80a8DTv3viYdIY) ## **πŸ’° Funding** **🌊 120Water**, a Indiana based developer of a subscription-based water testing platform, raised [$43M](https://120water.com/120water-secures-growth-investment-led-by-edison-partners/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) from Allos Ventures, to further expand the team, technology investments, and go-to-market efforts. **πŸ”¬ Myrobalan Therapeutics**, a Massachusetts based biotechnology company, raised a [$24M Series A ](https://www.finsmes.com/2024/01/myrobalan-therapeutics-closes-24m-series-a-financing.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com)from Co-win Ventures, to use the funds to advance its first program addressing therapies for neurological conditions. **🌱 Enifer**, a Finland-based biotech startup, secured a [$13M Grant](https://www.finsmes.com/2024/01/enifer-secures-over-e12m-grant.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com) from NextGenerationEU, to build a first-of-its-kind mycoprotein ingredient factory. πŸ”„ **Resynergi**, a California - based leader in plastic recycling technology, raised a [$6.4M Series B](https://www.finsmes.com/2024/01/resynergi-raises-6-4m-in-series-b-funding.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com) from Transitions First (T1ST) & Lummus Technology to scale production of its modular Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) technology, and to expand its executive team to drive growth. 🦷 **Peerlogic**, a Scottsdale, AZ-based AI-driven technology company servicing dental offices, raised a [$5.65M Seed](https://www.finsmes.com/2024/01/peerlogic-raises-5-65m-in-funding.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com) from AZ-VC, to scale its impact through expansion of innovative product solutions, enhancement of Large Language Model (LLM), and development of advanced call analytics and engagement tools. ## πŸ’Ό Acquisitions πŸ” **Karl Storz**, a Germany based endoscopy equipment manufacturer, [acquired](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/karl-storz-acquires-british-ai-162100204.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com) Innersight Labs, a UK based innovative software manufacturer.
