What Sincroniza Educao does

Sincroniza Educação is a São Paulo-based educational consulting firm founded in 2017 by Keila Visconti and Ana Paula Manzalli, both formerly with Fundação Lemann. The company designs, implements, and monitors educational projects for Brazilian foundations, institutes, education secretariats, and schools, with documented reach of 64,000 schools, 11.3 million students, and 690,000 teachers across 92% of Brazilian territory. Its core offering is built around "Diferenciação Pedagógica," a proprietary methodology adapted from Harvard and Fordham University research, packaged with the OSCAR (Objective, Starting point, Criteria, Actions, Reflections) framework and NARR verification (Nitidez/Acess/Rigor/Relevance), and published in Brazil through Penso Editora.

The company's service portfolio spans four main lines: educational project design, territorial implementation, customized training of educators and students (offered in-person, online, or hybrid), and multi-channel engagement strategies. Beyond its own methodology, Sincroniza operates as the Brazilian implementation partner for several major international technology platforms and educational programs, including Khan Academy and Khanmigo (20,000+ teachers impacted), the Google Experience AI program (R$5M Google.org grant targeting 16,000 teachers), the Stemi Lab AI course, and Foundation-run programs including Instituto Unibanco's Jovem de Futuro, Instituto Sonho Grande's Inspira Integral, and Fundação Itaú Social's pedagogical courses. The company also engages in adjacent areas such as racial equity training, digital competencies, and public education policy facilitation with Movimento Profissão Docente.

Sincroniza operates as a B2B sales-led professional services firm with quote-based project pricing, serving two primary vertical segments: public education networks (municipal and state secretariats) and foundations/institutes that fund Brazilian educational programs. Revenue is generated through contracted implementation projects, often with foundations as commissioning bodies and government secretariats as operational counterparts. The company employs 11-50 staff, is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and is headquartered in São Paulo at Rua Diana, 592.
