Eruditus, the global leader in making high-quality education accessible and affordable to individuals,
companies, and governments around the world, announced today a USD 650 million funding round, through a mix of primary and secondary funding, which values the company at USD 3.2 billion, quadrupling its Series D valuation from August 2020. The investment, led by Accel and Softbank Vision Fund 2, is one of the largest for an education upskilling platform. It also marks Accel’s largest single EdTech investment.
Accel and SoftBank Vision Fund 2 join Emeritus’ returning investors, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Leeds Illuminate and Prosus, who participated in the round, and existing investors, Sequoia Capital India and Bertelsmann. The Series E funding follows Eruditus’ recent USD 200 million acquisition of iD Tech, the world leader in youth STEM education, which marked Eruditus’ expansion into the K12 space.
Avendus Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Eruditus on this transaction.
