Education companies including Canada-based Permission Click and Eupheus, an Indian ed-tech startup, raised funds from the investment community.

Permission Click Raises Funds: Permission Click, a Canadian provider of K-12 school form automation solutions, has closed a multimillion-dollar deal led by an international strategic investor, according to a statement published on the website District Automation.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. In the statement, the Winnipeg, Manitoba-based company noted that the new investment will allow Permission Click “to significantly expand its school-facing organization across North America, while turning an eye to new markets overseas.” The company also noted that it is working to make more than a dozen new hires in sales, marketing and product development.

The company aims to help K-12 systems manage risk and reduce liability by demonstrating that forms and processes have been consistently applied, that any required approvals (either internal or from parents) have been collected, and that documents have been securely archived.

Chris Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Permission Click, noted that while his company is not disclosing the identity of its new investment partner yet, “they share our vision to free schools from manual, paper-based processes and have invested in our company as a first step in our partnership.” Johnson indicated that the investor has “deep education market expertise in their region.”
