Online education platform MyEdSpace has raised $15 million in Series A funding. White Star Capital led the round with participation from Educapital, Emerge, Active Partners and Coalition Capital.
Founded in 2022 by Sean Hirons and Kharis Yanakidis, MyEdSpace is an online learning platform offering live, interactive lessons for UK students. Lessons are delivered twice a week by experienced teachers, with all sessions recorded and supported by workbooks, homework, and step-by-step video solutions.
Teachers are selected through a rigorous process from the top 1 per cent in the UK. They deliver live lessons to thousands of students simultaneously and have built a social media audience of over 4 million, presenting complex topics in familiar formats.
The company’s mission is to make a world-class education accessible to all, using top teachers and technology to deliver engaging learning at scale.
Sean Hirons, co-founder of MyEdSpace, said:
We set out to combine the best teachers, leading technology, and the power of social media to build a platform that delivers the education that young people want and deserve. Our model makes learning affordable and ends the postcode lottery of achievement.
The new funding will support hiring more teachers, adding subjects, and advancing AI-powered learning tools to improve the student experience. The company is now scaling its UK model across the Atlantic, with initial US courses launching in October.
