KNOWBOX, a mobile app startup that helps teachers and students manage their homework, recently secured $15 million in a Series B round from Beijing- and Hong-Kong-based investment firm Genesis Capital, China Money Network (CMN) reports. Operating out of Beijing, the education company also received support from existing investor Legend Star, valuing the company at nearly $100 million.
