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."

"Fractal Homes’ platform makes it easier for buyers to own and enjoy second homes in desired European cities. We make second home ownership more accessible by splitting each home into eight equal parts reducing both the initial capital outlay required to buy the home and also the often-overlooked high cost of running a property. Fractal fully manages the property and takes care of cleaning, maintenance and all operational aspects that come with the running of a home to give buyers a hotel-like experience"
