GoodCourse raises £570k pre-seed funding led by RLC Ventures and RTP Capital to expand its mobile learning platform.
RLC Ventures and RTP Capital led the pre-seed round for the mobile learning startup.
GoodCourse operates a micro-learning platform delivering short-form training content to non-desk workers via mobile devices. The London-based company uses TikTok-style video formats to engage employees without requiring dedicated applications.
GoodCourse has secured £570k in pre-seed funding led jointly by RLC Ventures and RTP Capital. The round drew participation from several notable angel investors, including Monzo founder Tom Blomfield, Lendable founder Victoria Van Lennep, GoCardless and Nested founder Matt Robinson, and Look After My Bills founder Henry de Zoete.
The capital will be directed towards product development to enhance the learning platform and expanding sales and marketing functions as the company builds commercial traction across multiple sectors.
Traditional corporate e-learning solutions often neglect non-desk staff who lack computer access. GoodCourse addresses this gap by serving short daily lessons directly to mobile phones via text message, removing the need for downloads or logins.
From the founder
"The learning ecosystem has left behind non-desk-based workers and remote audiences for too long. More than this though, social media has changed the way we consume information – it’s time for e-learning to catch up. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with leading investors and operators as part of our first fundraising."
Chris Mansfield
CEO at GoodCourse
Investor perspective
"We are delighted to be leading GoodCourse’s pre-seed round and to join the team on their mission to bring best in class e-learning courses to the world of non-desk workers. The entire RLC team is delighted to be backing Chris and Omar, and we can’t wait to get going."
