We got an exclusive look at the pitch deck tutoring software startup Noto used to raise $3.8 million
Summary
Noto, a startup that provides software to automate tasks like billing and payroll for educational businesses, has raised $3.8 million in seed funding led by Base10 Partners.AJ Ding and Steve Wang founded the startup after they spent last summer knocking on the doors of small firms across New York City, and they kept hearing the same story: business was booming, but operations were a mess. They include managing parent-child-instructor relationships, shifting schedules, and complex billing rules.Noto uses large language models to draft lesson reports, reschedule classes, and summarize parent communication. The goal, Ding said, isnt to replace tutors but to free up their time.Ding, a second-time founder and Yale-trained statistician, previously built an AI recruiting platform. His cofounder, Wang, was the founding engineer at Nitra, a software company for doctors offices backed by A16z. "The lesson-based business segment has been chronically underserved by technology," Caroline Broder, a partner at Base10, said.With the new funding, Noto plans to grow its engineering team, hire a business operations lead, and improve the platforms AI capabilities, including AI onboarding, rolling out student-facing insights, and AI-assisted admin agents.Check out the 44-slide pitch deck Noto used to raise $3.8 million from Base10 Partners.
