Elspeth Briscoe founded the business in 2015 following her early career at eBay, Skype and Guardian Media. The Company’s focus is on providing students with a uniquely collaborative online learning experience working with tutors that are amongst the most renowned experts in their field.

Following the funding round, Rupert Pennant-Rea (investor and ex-Deputy Governor of Bank of England) has joined the Board as independent non-executive Chairman. David Armfield (investor and Partner of Kinetix Critchleys Corporate Finance) has joined as a Director.

Kinetix Critchleys Corporate Finance acted for the Company in the round, raising investment from a number of international HNW investors who have also been instrumental in positioning the business to grow in a number of category and regional markets.

Elspeth commented “Kinetix Critchleys Corporate Finance together with Critchleys accounting team have been fundamental in helping us to take our business forward and to the raising of funds from a number of highly influential investors.”
