MagnoliaEdAbout
MagnoliaEd is a Mississippi-built education AI platform focused on helping instructors run stronger online and hybrid classes with course-trained tutor agents for students.
In 2025, MagnoliaEd was selected into the CoBuilders statewide accelerator cohort and represented Hattiesburg through the Mississippi Polymer Institute partner network. CoBuilders coverage also recognized MagnoliaEd in the MPI pitch event results, where the team earned Investable-track placement and a People's Choice award.
Mississippi business reporting has additionally highlighted MagnoliaEd at Accelerate, where the founders described building a course-content-trained AI tutor originating at the University of Southern Mississippi.
MagnoliaEd was co-founded by Fan Zhang and Sugam Panthi. Their founder attribution is documented in the Innovate Mississippi Accelerate company profile and in CoBuilders/MPI coverage.
