Edorer, a US-based education technology company, was named on February 22, 2022 as one of nine startups in the fourth cohort of EduSpaze, the Singapore edtech accelerator.

EduSpaze said the nine companies, from Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the United States and Canada, were chosen from more than 180 applicants in 43 countries for a three-month virtual program. The accelerator, which is supported by the government agency Enterprise Singapore, offers early-stage companies up to S$500,000 in funding, mentor support and help in running pilot projects with education institutions. Its managing director named Edorer among the startups in the cohort that build their products on artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud technology.
Expert DOJO lists Edorer in its portfolio with a 2022 vintage. It describes the company as an AI-powered learning management and proctored-exam platform for universities and enterprises, covering online courses, assessments and hiring tests. The investor's profile says it backed Edorer during early acceleration to help the company widen its distribution and expand into international markets.
