How three founders turned a note-taking tool into the interactive, AI-powered layer for LMS video.
Founded by Maksym Kovalenko, Ivan Darmograi, and Kyrylo Mandrychenko, MaltaX gained early traction in the Rhein-Main startup ecosystem. In January 2025, the company secured a runner-up spot at the inaugural LAUNCH Rhein-Main Demo Day, which included a coaching opportunity with Earlybird-X partner Stephan Rauscher.
During their time in FUTURY's Product School, the team focused on product development and collaborated with industry stakeholders. This led to a pilot with EdEra, a major Ukrainian EdTech company, validating their initial concept. The following year, MaltaX evolved its product from a tool for time-coded video notes into an interactive, AI-powered video layer — one that embeds directly into existing LMS to track and measure student engagement.
By the end of the year, MaltaX had partnered with established EdTech companies and was selected for the Startup Edge Program — an initiative run by the Ukrainian Startup Fund in partnership with the European Union and the French government. Through this program, the company secured its first pre-seed grant of €10,000.
That's the MaltaX story so far.
