Background
UK-based online learning platform MyEdSpace has secured $15 million in Series A funding to grow its services and reach more students. White Star Capital led the round. Other investors include Educapital, Emerge, Active Partners, and Coalition Capital.
Founded in 2022 by Sean Hirons and Kharis Yanakidis, MyEdSpace offers live, interactive lessons for UK students. Lessons happen twice a week and come with recorded sessions, workbooks, homework, and step-by-step video solutions.
Teachers are picked from the top 1% in the UK. They teach thousands of students at once and have a social media following of over 4 million, making tricky topics easier to understand.
“We want to bring top teachers, technology, and social media together to give young people the education they deserve,” said Sean Hirons, co-founder. “Our model makes learning affordable and fair, wherever students live.”
The new funding will help hire more teachers, add subjects, and build AI-powered tools to improve lessons. In October, MyEdSpace will also be launching courses in the US on the success of its models in the UK.
As this grows, the platform intends to offer high-quality education to more students. With technology and quality teachers, MyEdSpace is on a mission to build effective learning on a large scale in an engaging way.
