Dulino

What Dulino does

Dulino is a Brazilian educational technology company founded in 2013 by CEO Raphael Gadelha, headquartered in Olinda, Pernambuco. The company operates a B2B model selling integrated educational programs to K-12 schools (both public and private) across Brazil, with operational concentration in the Pernambuco region. Dulino delivers its offering through a platform-plus-modules architecture: a proprietary LXP (Learning Experience Platform) that uses Machine Learning and AI for personalized learning, paired with five specialized academies covering Maker education, English language, Game development, Robotics, and Inclusion (neurodivergent learners), plus a physical Dulino Lab infrastructure offering four tiered configurations to match different school budgets.

The underlying technology stack combines a web and mobile-accessible LXP with virtual classrooms, scheduling, video calls, assessments, and real-time analytics, supported by third-party tools including Lego Education (Robotics Academy), Scratch, Construct 2, and Unity (Game Academy). The company's pedagogical framework, called C2E (Compreender-Executar-Expandir), is aligned with Brazil's BNCC (Base Nacional Comum Curricular) and emphasizes project-based, hands-on learning. Distribution is multi-modal: on-site Dulino Lab installations, a mobile laboratory service for schools without fixed infrastructure, and the self-serve LXP digital platform.

Dulino's revenue model is subscription/recurring, based on school partnership contracts that bundle the LXP platform, lab infrastructure, teacher training, and ongoing program delivery. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based. The company is private, has not disclosed any funding rounds, employs between 11 and 50 people, and is actively operating as of 2024 with no parent company or subsidiaries.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Tynker: Coding and game-development platform for kids used in schools globally. Overlaps with Dulino's Game Academy and Maker programming offerings, though Tynker is more focused on coding than broader STEAM.

Broad incumbents

• Khan Academy: Free, large-scale online learning platform with a global K-12 footprint. Adjacent competitor for student learning time and a free benchmark that can compress willingness-to-pay for premium platforms like Dulino's LXP.
• Descomplica: Large Brazilian edtech offering online K-12 and test prep content at scale. A broader incumbent competing for the same Brazilian school and student wallets, with a much larger content library and brand.

Regional players

• Positivo On: Brazilian K-12 education technology arm of Positivo, offering digital learning solutions to Brazilian schools. Comparable to Dulino's LXP and academies but with broader national distribution and hardware-backed ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Mind Makers: Brazilian maker education company delivering maker labs and STEAM curriculum to Brazilian schools. Directly comparable to Dulino's Maker Academy and Dulino Lab offering in the same K-12 public/private school channel.
• LEGO Education: Global provider of robotics kits and STEAM curriculum used in schools. Both a supplier (Dulino uses LEGO Education kits in its Robotics Academy) and a competitor offering robotics curricula directly to schools worldwide.
• Roblox Education: Game development and 3D creation platform with formal education programs for schools. Directly comparable to Dulino's Game Academy, targeting the same 'students become creators' use case in K-12.
• Geekie: One of Brazil's largest personalized learning platforms, serving K-12 schools with adaptive content and teacher tools. Closely comparable to Dulino's LXP platform and BNCC-aligned approach, competing for the same Brazilian school budgets.
