MyEdSpace has secured £11.2m in a Series A funding round led by White Star Capital. The financing also saw participation from Educapital, Emerge, Active Partners, and Coalition Capital.
The fresh capital will be directed towards hiring additional teachers, introducing new subjects, advancing the platform's artificial intelligence learning tools, and driving international expansion, including a push into the United States.
The platform has supported over 16,000 students since its inception in 2022. Its unique model leverages top-tier educators who broadcast live lessons to large cohorts, offering an affordable alternative to traditional private tutoring.
From the founder
"We set out to combine the best teachers, leading technology, and the power of social media to build a platform that delivers the education that young people want and deserve. Our model makes learning affordable and ends the postcode lottery of achievement. With this funding and the support of our investors, we can take the next step in making world-class education available to every child in the UK, and now in the US. It brings us one step closer to being able to provide free access for every UK child on free school meals, which we set as a long-term company goal."
