Briefly

Hiveclass, founded by Joe Titus and Paul Suhr during the COVID-19 pandemic, offers an online educational platform for K-12 students focused on fitness and wellness. This initiative addresses disengagement from physical education and the high costs of youth sports, particularly impacting low-income families. The company recently secured $1.5 million in seed funding to enhance its platform, which includes engaging content for students and resources for educators. Hiveclass primarily targets public schools and libraries, aiming to provide inclusive and accessible physical education opportunities for all students, including those with special needs.

With school P.E. often seen as overly competitive, parents are looking for inclusive, engaging alternatives like Hiveclass that promote fitness and well-being.
Investors are recognizing the potential of Hiveclass, which just secured $1.5 million in seed funding to enhance its offerings and support engagement in classrooms.
Titus emphasized the financial barriers in youth sports, pointing out the struggles families face and the goal of Hiveclass to make sports accessible for all.
