Zen Educate secures £5.6m Series A investment led by Brighteye Ventures to fund UK expansion
The London-based education platform has raised Series A backing from Brighteye Ventures to expand its footprint.
Zen Educate operates an online marketplace that matches schools with supply teachers and teaching assistants. The platform reduces recruitment expenses and streamlines administrative workflows for educational institutions.
Zen Educate has secured £5.6m in a Series A funding round led by Brighteye Ventures. The round also drew participation from Adjuvo and Nick Hungerford. The company will use the capital to consolidate its market position in London and expand its operations into Manchester. Additional plans include growing its headcount and enhancing its proprietary matching technology.
From the founder
"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,"
Slava Kremerman
CEO at Zen Educate
