Data Literacy Academy has raised £432k in pre-seed funding to accelerate its market expansion and scale its educator network. The investment round was led by Haatch Ventures, with additional participation from Ufi Ventures and industry figures including Jason Foster. The capital will support the company as it scales its online learning platform across Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
The firm focuses on helping organisations improve decision making and productivity by training employees at all levels to interpret and engage with company data. This latest injection of capital positions the business to meet its target of assisting 10,000 enterprises with data literacy by the end of the decade.
From the founder
"Pre-seed funding is a hugely exciting time for any start-up – it’s the launchpad from which the future can develop. Having the backing of industry heavyweights like Jason Foster gives me even more conviction in our mission to become the go to educator for data literacy amongst business users. Data-led, data-literate organisations are the future of business, and we are proud to be helping them and their employees get there."
