Summary

Kindu is an innovative classroom management platform built using the no-code web development tool Bubble, enabling teachers to easily connect with their students' families through a reimagined classroom website. The platform provides a private Facebook group-like experience for parents and students, allowing them to post announcements, photos, files, digital permission slips, and events with sign-up sheets. Kindu's founder, Zach Merritt, a data scientist by trade, built the app after witnessing his fiancé struggle with her class website, seeking to create a better solution. The platform has gained significant traction during COVID-19, facilitating connections among parents, teachers, and students worldwide. With its user-friendly interface and powerful workflow features, Kindu aims to become a suite of unified EdTech tools for every classroom, serving as a one-stop-shop for community, communication, content, and curriculum management.
