Madrid-based early learning platform Lingokids has raised $40 million in a Series C funding round led by an undisclosed investor (Shhh … it’s top secret), and saw participation from GP Bullhound as well as existing investors HV Capital, and puzzle (and other games and toys, but let's be honest, puzzles) maker Ravensburger, amongst other undisclosed investors. Lingokids is reporting that the funding will be used for further international expansion, new content verticals, and its relentless recruitment drive. To date, the firm has raised $65.5 million.
