Global Founders Capital led the Series A round to support the growth of the educational finance platform.
"The future of work in the digital economy means continuous learning from 16-65 years old, or as the American’s say K to grey. We are looking to democratise funding of tech and coding courses by removing barriers for upfront payment or having to take out high interest loans. We don’t believe in charging our users and have instead opted to build a business model that charges a merchant fee to our partners and is free to the enduser (the student)."
The fintech start-up secured backing from the Future Fund to help young people save for a property.
"The challenges facing young people are huge, with a massive wealth imbalance, a complex financial system and little help. We’ve been planning, testing and building Nude to make the financial world fairer and easier, starting with helping people buy their first home faster and easier than ever before."
The community and behavioural change platform surpassed its target within 24 hours with backing from 512 investors.
"We are absolutely delighted to have reached our funding target and this investment will really allow us to expand our offering and support so many more people with our products."
Unilever Ventures led the £1.9m Series A round, which will fund UK expansion and European launch preparations.
"This has been a key growth round for us in preparation of larger Series B in 2020, so we are delighted to have returned to Seedrs, welcome back our existing supporters, and pick up some new ones along the way."
