Series A
£7.2M

The Series A round was led by Mustard Seed Partners to support network expansion and recruitment.

"The first years of a child’s development are absolutely crucial for shaping their long-term educational trajectory. Early years educators play an enormous role in this, but astronomical costs and provider shortages have robbed too many families of access to high quality care. That’s why we’re working to reverse the decline in childminder numbers – the most affordable form of childcare – and champion those who want to pursue a hugely rewarding role. Our success is proof that there’s a huge appetite for careers in early years when the right support is on offer. We’re finding the next generation of childminders and securing the futures of the next generation of children."
— Brett Wigdortz, CEO
Series B
£4.7M

The company has raised a fresh tranche of capital from backers including Wealth Club to drive growth across the UK and US.

"This latest round of investment in BibliU, from a hugely experienced group of investors, will only serve to further our mission to provide high-quality, accessible and vital learning resources at an affordable cost."
— Dave Sherwood, Co-Founder and CEO
Pre-Seed

"At Vygo, we believe that every human deserves a world-class education and that social experience is at the core of impactful learning. The Vygo platform gives every learner a social education community filled with their peers, mentors, tutors, advisors and other supporters. With Vygo, education institutions are able to reinvent their social support ecosystem online and ultimately improve their student outcomes whilst scaling their impact. We were delighted to work with AIN to find amazing investors and individuals through a well-streamlined process."
