What Vivi does
Vivi International Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered education technology company that has built a cloud-based campus operating system for K-12 schools. The platform unifies four previously separate categories — wireless screen mirroring, digital signage, emergency alerts, and legacy PA systems — into a single subscription that runs on every display and device a school already owns. As of the most recent disclosures, Vivi serves over 2,400 schools and 160,000 classrooms worldwide, with 825,000-870,000 teachers and students on the platform.
The platform architecture comprises a Vivi Display layer (available as the Vivi Display Box hardware receiver or a software Display App for smart TVs and EDLA-certified IFPs), the cross-platform Vivi User App for teachers and students, and Vivi Central, a cloud-based administration console for IT administrators managing users, devices, firmware, and analytics. Screen-mirroring traffic stays on the local LAN/VLAN, while the cloud is used for authentication, signage sync, and emergency communications. Distinctive features include Device Alerts (full-screen emergency notifications on staff computers with mandatory acknowledgment and audit trails for Alyssa's Law and Martyn's Law compliance), Live Captions (real-time translation in 70-75 languages), Stream to Students (instruction pushed to student devices), Virtual Whiteboard, Polling/Assessments, Location-Based Management, and integrations with more than 20 third-party platforms spanning IFP manufacturers (Promethean, BenQ, SMART, Clevertouch, Newline), safety systems (Raptor, Centegix, InformaCast), SSO (ClassLink, Clever, Microsoft Entra ID), and content tools (Canva, Google Drive, OneDrive). The company has earned the ST4S (Safer Technologies 4 Schools) product badge and won ISTE 2024, Tech Learning Awards of Excellence (2024, 2025), and TE Service Provider Awards 2024.
Vivi operates a per-classroom/per-display annual subscription model with site licenses for whole-building coverage, bundling the hardware receiver, software, support, updates, training, and warranty into one price. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a reseller channel (particularly UK multi-academy trusts and large US districts), free pilots, and community-led adoption through the Vivi Educator Council. The company has raised approximately US$24.1M in disclosed funding (a 2020 round of US$4.3M led by Riverside Acceleration Capital, plus a 2021 round of US$20M led by Quad Partners), and operates regional sales and support teams across the Americas, APAC, and EMEA with customers in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
