LIV - Laboratório Inteligência de Vida

What LIV - Laboratório Inteligência de Vida does

LIV - Laboratório Inteligência de Vida is a Brazilian social-emotional education (SEL) program provider for K-12 schools, covering Educação Infantil (age 3) through Ensino Médio. It operates as a private program within Grupo Salta Educação, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro with 141 employees. The company delivers a comprehensive curriculum that integrates weekly classroom instruction with exclusive audiovisual series (Mar Aberto, Sobre Nós), student workbooks, teacher guides, and assessment tools. Supporting the core program are Portal LIV (digital platform for teachers, students and families), Percurso Pedagógico (continuous teacher professional development), LIV Aproxima (family engagement), the LIV+ tier with formative socioemotional assessment developed in partnership with ACT, and adjacent products Meu Mundo (creative writing) and Dia Lab (AI literacy curriculum).

The company's underlying technology is a content-and-services stack rather than a software platform: proprietary curricular content organized into age-appropriate blocks, a partner-only online portal for resource distribution, and formative assessment instruments built jointly with ACT (the American organization behind the PISA creativity assessment). Distribution is direct-to-school through a field consultant network, inbound via the 'Quero LIV' form, and amplified by the annual Congresso LIV and ambassadors Lázaro Ramos and Vanessa Cavalieri. The business model is a recurring B2B subscription, with schools paying for access to the full LIV program including materials, teacher training, ongoing support and family resources; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per school.

LIV reports presence in 500+ schools serving 500,000+ students across Brazil, holds LGPD compliance, and has won external recognition including a 2019 presentation at the E-ATP Conference in Madrid on its ACT partnership. No external funding rounds, M&A, or international expansion are disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Move This World: SEL curriculum and video-based program sold into K-12 schools with structured lessons and teacher support. Directly comparable to LIV's socioemotional classroom instruction and teacher training model.
• Committee for Children (Second Step): U.S.-based nonprofit that produces Second Step, one of the most widely adopted K-12 SEL curricula globally. Directly comparable to LIV as a research-backed SEL curriculum sold to schools, with classroom lessons, teacher training, and family engagement materials across grade bands.
• BASE Education: Online SEL and mental health curriculum for middle and high school students, sold directly to schools. Comparable to LIV's Ensino Médio-focused Sobre Nós audiovisual series and secondary-school SEL programming.
• EVERFI: Digital SEL and life-skills curriculum provider selling into K-12 schools and districts, often via sponsorships. Comparable to LIV on the B2B school channel motion and pre-K-12 SEL content, though with a stronger digital-delivery focus.
• Panorama Education: K-12 social-emotional learning and climate survey/assessment platform sold to schools and districts. Comparable to LIV's ACT-partnered formative assessment and data-driven SEL approach for school customers.
• Rethink Ed: K-12 SEL, mental health, and behavioral intervention platform with curriculum, professional development, and family resources. Overlaps with LIV's teacher training, family engagement, and tiered SEL supports for schools.
• Peekapak: SEL curriculum provider for K-5 classrooms with story-based lessons, teacher resources, and family materials. Comparable as an age-tiered SEL program selling into schools, though narrower in grade coverage than LIV.

Broad incumbents

• ClassDojo: Widely adopted K-12 classroom communication and SEL platform with free and premium tiers. Comparable in K-12 SEL content and family engagement but operates as a broad horizontal platform rather than a deep SEL curriculum specialist.

Regional players

• Cogna Educação: Largest Brazilian K-12 and higher education group, with curriculum, learning systems, and school solutions sold across the country. Comparable as a scaled competitor for Brazilian K-12 school budgets, but focused on academic rather than socioemotional content.
• Positivo Tecnologia (Positivo Educação): Major Brazilian education group offering K-12 learning systems and content to schools. Comparable as a scaled Brazilian B2B K-12 content/curriculum provider competing for the same school budgets, though with a broader academic rather than socioemotional focus.
