Kiddom Named 2026 EdTech Trendsetter as Districts Shift Toward Coherent Instructional Systems

Founder recognition and math solution distinction complete a three-category showing at the EdTech Awards

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kiddom, the company behind Learning Intelligence Technology (LIT), was recognized across three categories in the 2026 EdTech Awards from EdTech Digest, including winning the EdTech Trendsetter Award.

“K–12 education has invested heavily in better curriculum, but far less in the infrastructure required to deliver it well,” said Abbas Manjee, Co-Founder and Chief Academic Officer at Kiddom. “What’s been missing is coherence. Systems should connect what students are learning with how teachers plan, assess, and respond in real time. That shift is now underway, and it’s what we are building.”

From Tools to Instructional Infrastructure

The EdTech Awards honor organizations and leaders advancing education through technology. Kiddom was recognized in the following categories:

• EdTech Trendsetter Awards: Winner, “EdTech Company Setting a Trend,” Kiddom
• EdTech Leadership Awards: Finalist, “Founder(s) / CEO,” Ahsan Rizvi and Abbas Manjee
• EdTech Cool Tool Awards: Finalist, “Math Solution,” Kiddom IM^® v.360

These recognitions point to a common direction: systems that support the full arc of instruction, not isolated tools.

Kiddom IM^® v.360 brings math curriculum, assessment, and intervention into one coherent experience. Kiddom Atlas instructional intelligence helps teachers see exactly where students are and adjusts planning and intervention in real time. Additionally, Kiddom offers 24/7 support and professional learning opportunities for teachers and districts to ensure a smooth and impactful experience.

Learning Intelligence Technology: A Category Taking Shape

Recognition as a trendsetter signals alignment between district needs and the direction of technology. Educators are looking for systems that reduce fragmentation, support implementation fidelity, and make it easier to act on student understanding. The technology is closed, curriculum-grounded, teacher-facing and never trains an external model.

“We are building Learning Intelligence Technology for one reason: the old model doesn’t work,” said Ahsan Rizvi, CEO and Co-Founder of Kiddom. “Curriculum lives in one place, assessment in another, and data in fragmented systems. LIT brings these pieces into one coherent system designed around how teaching actually happens. This way, district leaders see what's working in November, not April. Being named a trendsetter tells us districts are ready for that shift.”
