Intuitivo, EUR 1.35M seed for digital assessment
Full-time lower secondary teachers in Portugal report spending 6.9 hours a week marking and correcting student work, against an OECD average of 4.6, according to the OECD's TALIS 2024 country note for Portugal. On 23 October 2026 EU-Startups reported that Intuitivo, a Portuguese platform for creating, scheduling and grading tests, raised €1.35 million in seed funding.
The round was led by Caixa Capital and the Impact Innovation Fund, managed by 3xP Global under the Venture Capital Programme of the Capitalisation and Resilience Fund (FdCR), which is administered by Banco Português de Fomento, described by EU-Startups as Portugal's development bank. Techstars, COREangels Lisboa and COREangels Porto also took part, alongside Angels Way, which EU-Startups describes as the first Portuguese fund structured as a community, pooling 436 small investors.
Intuitivo was founded in 2021 by João Guimarães, Duarte Oliveira and Diogo Silva. Teachers build tests, draw on a shared exercise library or use AI to turn old PDF tests into interactive, auto-graded versions. Students open a single link, with no account needed. According to EU-Startups, the platform has 75,000 registered teachers and more than 200 contracts covering over 500 schools in Portugal, and the company estimates it saved teachers about 165,000 hours in the 2025/26 school year. The company's own site says 60,000+ teachers and 1M+ assessments created; the two teacher counts differ.
What the money pays for: product development, growing the team from 11 to 20 people before the end of 2026, and entering Brazil, which EU-Startups puts at 2.2 million teachers. Guimarães: "Brazil is the natural step: it speaks our language, has more than 2 million teachers, teachers there adopt digital tools easily, and some already use Intuitivo."
The limits: no valuation and no per-investor amounts are published, the Techstars programme is not named, and the hours-saved figure is the company's estimate. The OECD figure covers lower secondary teachers, while Intuitivo says it serves primary school through higher education.
