Boston TechStars alum Testive has raised $500,000, from a number of notable Boston angels. The company’s core offering is a test prep that helps students study more effectively.

Testive’s predictive algorithms can weed out questions that are too easy or too hard to provide just the right amount of challenge for the studier.

Here’s who’s behind the new funding, from the company’s release:

Testive’s fundraising round was led by several prominent Boston Angels including Jean Hammond (an active angel and early investor in ZipCar and Pixibiity), Eileen Rudden (Former Chief Officer of Chicago Public School’s College and Career Prep Office), Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot), and Bill Warner (founder of Avid and active Boston Angel). Don McLagan, an investor and the former CEO of Compete.com, has joined Testive’s Board as an observer.

We’ve known since earlier in the year that Dharmesh and Warner were committed. Testive announced at Demo Day this past spring that it would be raising a half a million in seed funding.
