Oneday has secured £5m in a second fundraising round to launch its new accredited MBA programme. The fresh capital comes from a consortium of investors including Ananda Impact Ventures, Brighteye Ventures, Outward, Flint Capital and Sparkmind.vc, bringing the company's total funds raised to £8.3m. The 18-month programme pairs students with seven-figure entrepreneur mentors to help them build revenue-generating businesses while studying. Leadership at Oneday noted that the shift towards artificial intelligence makes practical entrepreneurial education increasingly vital as traditional knowledge work evolves.
From the founder
"Following a successful fundraise of £8.25 million, we are hugely excited to launch our new MBA programme, which is just the first step in creating a broader education system around entrepreneurship."

founder and CEO at Oneday
Investor perspective
"Formal education is too often theoretical, detached from the real world. Oneday breaks that mould by offering the first-ever practical degree in entrepreneurship. This isn’t just about studying textbooks and passing exams. It’s about hands-on training and building as you go, fostering a mindset of innovation and resilience. We’re proud to back Oneday as they pave the way for a new era of practical, impactful learning."
