The financing round was led by Stage 2 Capital and includes debt capital to fund further educational content.
"The go-to-market ecosystem has needed this solution for a long time. Internal learning and enablement resources are scrambling to equip their new hires with the same core sales, marketing, and customer success skills, and constantly reinventing the wheel from company to company,"
The funding round was led by GC Angels alongside private angel backers to develop home learning applications.
"Home-schooling during lockdown has taught so many parents how important education is to our children. We know that education doesn’t stop at school, so we are really pleased to receive this investment thanks to GC Angels and the private investors to develop an app that parents can use at home to make extracurricular learning fun. At Emile Education, we’re committed to developing our offering based on extensive research, and we’re looking forward to working with more experts to expand our offering to cover the broader education curriculum."
The Yorkshire-based trivia software company raised the capital from business angels including Rob Wilmot.
"The investment from experienced business angels, as well as our partnership with Parallax will support the release of KwizzBit 2.0, which will give us the capacity to run live events to over 100,000 participants in a single game. New innovative feature releases will allow us to improve game-play and develop new game formats. It’s our aim to connect 100,000 hosts with 5 million players by 2023."
The oversubscribed round was backed by new investors including Solve Innovation Future to support international expansion.
"The pandemic accelerated the pace of innovation in education – fast-forwarding the use of technology in learning by years in just the space of a few months."
