⚡️32 EdTech Unicorns 🦄 (17 joined during the year)
⚡️61 Mega Rounds ($100M+)
⚡️Significant rounds from Unacademy, Beijing Fenbi Lantian Technology Company Ltd., Course Hero, ApplyBoard, GoStudent Eruditus and MasterClass
+ there was a surge of funding in the USA 🇺🇸 and EU 🇪🇺 coupled with ongoing growth in India 🇮🇳 which more than offset the $8B collapse in China 🇨🇳
EdTech was once a niche sector but is now growing from strength to strength to power students, parents, schools, teachers, professors, governments and employers around the world with critical tools, content, processes and learning outcomes to mitigate learning loss through the pandemic and accelerate up-skilling into a new labor economy
Excited to see what 2022 holds for the sector!
