Career-focused Edtech Platform Geekster has raised $1.3 million in Pre-Series A funding
Geekster, a career-focused edtech startup, has collected $ 1.30 Mn in a Pre-Series A round headed by Inflection Point Ventures with participation from MyNavi Corporation, Japan. Existing investors We Founder Circle and Ah Ventures also participated in the round. The brand has managed to gather a total sum of USD 1.5 mn, including the current round.
The fund will be primarily utilized towards building the team. A part of the raised fund will also be used up in expanding the portfolio of offerings, adding new programs, and building scalable learning & hiring platforms.
Geekster, an upskilling platform, centers around creating programming abilities in understudies and making them work-prepared for optimistic tech occupations. The startup charges no expense from the understudy until they land a well-paying position, and this offer makes it remarkable, particularly among the understudies from level 2 and level 3 urban communities in the country.
“Gone are the days where a graduate certificate would be more than enough to secure a job in your respective field. With the growing competition, job seekers are expected to be more skilled to be a cut above the rest. Geekster has successfully designed a tech education platform with its unique skilling model, allowing tech graduates to hone their skills at zero cost until they get a paying job. And at the same time, it engages industry professionals as educators on the platform keeping the content relevant and practical. The company has won the trust of leading companies to hire a highly skilled tech workforce. IPV looks forward to further scaling this platform and creating a pool of talented and top-notch industry-ready professionals”, said Ankur Mittal, Co-Founder, Inflection Point Ventures.
On the fundraise, Ankit Maggu, Co-Founder of Geekster, affirmed, “We are on a mission to democratize quality education & career opportunities; aiming to make a million graduates work ready in next few years. Our offering has witnessed great response from the Students & Employer Partners alike, and we shall be working aggressively to scale our operations in the next few months. We are fortunate to have associated with marquee investors who are equally excited about the opportunity and are aligned with our vision for Geekster.”
