The funding round was led by Yoti founder Robin Tombs and backed by various angel investors.
"I first became aware of GoBubble when they approached Yoti to work together enhancing the parent consent flow. I was very impressed by the innovation shown in the creation of the GoBubble platform, particularly the security of the cutting-edge video content moderation. After speaking with Henry, I knew I wanted to be part of his journey and support the ongoing formation of a safe online space for thousands of GoBubble users."
The pre-seed round was led by Collab+Sesame with participation from Techstars London.
"I was a huge fan of Sesame Street as a child, and couldn't imagine a more perfect lead investor than Collab+Sesame, who share our values of kindness, communication, learning through play, and humour. We're looking forward to working closely with Sesame Workshop to help us develop Banjo Robinson into an even more valuable experience for children and families."
The investment was led by NVM Private Equity and will fund product development.
"Tutorful started with a simple mission: to radically improve the quality and accessibility of private tutoring throughout the UK, and since 2015, we’ve already helped over 100,000 parents and students achieve their goals. This investment and support by NVM will help us accelerate our product innovation, particularly our online platform, to help us reach an even greater number of parents."
The Leeds-based educational technology startup raised £500k from existing backers to grow its team and platform.
"We’re really excited to complete this funding round with our existing investors, which shows the faith they have in the team and the future we’re building at Synap. We’ll be using the funding to expand our team, and to invest in further developing the product to help people learn more in less time. We’re very proud to be a tech company based in Leeds and to be working with local investors. We’re really looking forward to the future which will see us bringing more attractive jobs into the region and expanding into new sectors"
The London-based education platform has raised Series A backing from Brighteye Ventures to expand its footprint.
"UK schools are under an immense amount of financial pressure right now, that's why we're committed to cutting down supply cover costs significantly so they can spend more on what matters – the children- not on agency fees,"
