EduLab Capital Partners, a seed-stage venture capital firm, today announced an investment in eCare Vault to grow its privacy-compliant and seamless care team collaboration platform. Boston-based eCare Vault is the first investment for EduLab Capital Partners, which was launched in late 2018 with an exclusive focus on the education market. EduLab Capital Partners' domain-specific expertise, global partnerships and distribution networks will help companies like eCare Vault to accelerate their product impact in the market.

"We surround our portfolio companies with the functional expertise, industry experience and partnership networks that enable them to scale faster and extend their reach in the market father."

EduLab Capital Partners chose to locate its new U.S. headquarters in Boston, one of the major hubs of the educational technology industry. The company plans an active role in the Boston startup community, partnering with universities, entrepreneurs and local visionaries, and connecting them with EduLab Capital Partners' global network of innovators.

"We are thrilled to be part of the Edulab Capital Partners family," said Dr. Aparna Rao, founder and CEO of eCare Vault. "Their extensive network has already begun opening a gateway of opportunities for eCare Vault. The expertise of their team will be tremendously valuable as we build eCare Vault 2.0, leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence for administration dashboards to inform resource planning and analytics around Special Education services."
