Oslo-based EdTech and AI startup WeWillWrite has raised €2 million to scale its collaborative writing platform for schools. The round was co-led by Skyfall Ventures and Spintop Ventures, with participation from Kahoot! co-founders Johan Brand and Jamie Brooker and several angels. The company targets a clear problem, helping students regain confidence in writing while adapting classrooms to the realities of the AI era.
Market Context
Writing proficiency is slipping in key markets, and teachers are looking for tools that boost engagement without outsourcing learning to automation. WeWillWrite positions itself within a broader European wave of AI-enabled learning tools that enhance, rather than replace, human creativity. Compared with larger raises in adjacent segments, the round reflects an early-growth bet on a focused niche where peer feedback and short-form writing unlock measurable classroom outcomes.
Product and Approach
Founded in 2019 by Daniel Senn, Johannes Stensen, and Erlend Klouman Høiner, WeWillWrite emphasizes process over product. Students compose short texts, exchange peer feedback, and iterate in a shared environment that promotes mastery and motivation. The platform draws on Scandinavian pedagogy and treats writing as a social and creative activity, not a solitary task.
Traction and Usage
The company reports adoption by millions of students and more than 100,000 teachers, with the strongest footprint across North American elementary and middle schools. Regular classroom use is supported by real-time feedback and an expanding library of prompts designed to spark concise writing and revision cycles. Teachers cite improvements in participation and confidence as students learn to express ideas clearly and critique peers constructively.
Funding and Backers
The new capital was led by Skyfall Ventures and Spintop Ventures, joined by angels Aurora Klæboe Berg, Gaute Godager, Fredrik Schjold, and Alexander Lund. Backers highlight the blend of pedagogy and product, noting that cultural fit and domain expertise were decisive in the syndicate’s formation. Investor endorsements underscore momentum, with Brand calling the classroom energy “rare” for education technology and Skyfall’s Preben Songe-Møller pointing to rapid growth in the world’s largest market.
Strategy and Expansion
WeWillWrite plans to strengthen its Norwegian operations while deepening penetration in key U.S. regions. The roadmap includes continued product development for teacher support, higher-fidelity engagement tools, and improved feedback workflows. A global rollout is targeted for 2026 to 2027, supported by hiring across product, pedagogy, and go-to-market functions.
Positioning in the AI Age
Founder Daniel Senn frames the mission as preparing students to be “rocket pilots” in an AI-rich future rather than passengers. The platform aims to teach expression, critique, and creativity so AI becomes a tool to master rather than a crutch that erodes skill. By keeping writing social and accountable, the company seeks to protect authenticity while embracing responsible technology use.
Community and Network Effects
WeWillWrite credits teacher communities for driving classroom-to-classroom adoption through recommendations and shared practice. Spintop’s Helen Agering points to these network effects as a key reason the startup can stand out in the crowded U.S. EdTech market. The team is recruiting educators and product builders who can translate feedback loops into scalable features and training.
Founders and Culture
Senn, Stensen, and Klouman Høiner bring serial entrepreneurship and domain familiarity to a product that mirrors Scandinavian classroom values. Culture fit with investors was presented as a prerequisite for the round, aligning expectations on pace, evidence, and impact. The company describes the moment as the start of a movement that puts joy at the center of writing instruction.
WeWillWrite’s €2 million raise gives the Oslo startup runway to refine its pedagogy-led platform and expand in the United States. The strategy is straightforward, focus on collaborative writing, measurable engagement, and teacher-led networks that scale. If execution matches early traction, the company could become a reference point for how AI-era classrooms make writing both rigorous and fun.
