K12 Intelligence · Capital Monitor
An intelligence layer for global international-school capital: investor entries, ownership changes, platform acquisitions, strategic M&A, acquisition finance and capital structures that signal where growth may come next.

Version 1 establishes the monitoring structure. The dataset is designed to expand into a continuously verified capital-intelligence feed, with primary sources preferred and reported transactions clearly labelled.

Watch 03
After capital enters a platform, the critical intelligence question is where that capital is deployed next — country, school type and transaction structure.
Methodology: K12 distinguishes confirmed company announcements from credible reported transactions, and does not aggregate headline valuations with direct investments as though they were equivalent capital deployed. Information should be independently verified before investment or transaction decisions.
