Sainaptic raises £1 million to expand AI assessment marking technology

Cambridge-based ed-tech startup Sainaptic has raised £1 million in a funding round led by Cornerstone VC and Ufi Ventures. The capital will support product expansion and team growth.

Funding details

Sainaptic announced on 13 October 2026 that it secured £1 million (approximately $1.31 million) in fresh capital. The investment round included participation from Cornerstone VC and Ufi Ventures.

The Cambridge-based company develops artificial intelligence tools designed to assist with the marking and assessment process for educational and training organisations.

Automating assessment processes

Sainaptic creates AI-assisted marking systems aimed at exam boards and vocational training providers. Its technology evaluates a range of candidate submissions, including essays, short answers, written reports, and professional discussions.

Reports indicate that the startup's technology cuts down marking times from hours to seconds, helping organisations process vocational and professional qualifications more efficiently.

Growth and expansion plans

The company plans to use the new funds to broaden its product offerings beyond basic marking and feedback. Future development will focus on quality assurance capabilities, analytics tools, and personalised assessment features.

Sainaptic also intends to allocate resources toward expanding its internal personnel across its engineering, product development, and sales departments.

Company leadership and stakeholders

The ed-tech firm was founded by Kavitha Ravindran and Rajeshwari Iyer. Key stakeholders and contacts connected to the business include Kayle Brightwell, Director of Education at Safety Training Awards, and partner contact Josh Redmayn.
