History
2021: Attraction €671.6 thousand
In November 2021, the Edtech company GoodCourse raised €671.6 thousand as part of preliminary financing led by RLC Ventures and RTP CapitalLeonid Boguslavsky. Other participants in the deal include Monzo founder Tom Blomfield, Lendable founder Victoria Van Lennep, GoCardless & Nested founder Matt Robinson and Look After My Bills founder Henry de Zote.
According to the developers, the platform GoodCourse aimed to make the training more accessible and enjoyable thanks to the short content of L&D in combination with explaining TikTok-style videos that are available on the students' phones. Students register with a text message, so no applications, downloads, or logins are required, making this platform easy to use for everyone.
The company believes that with the advent of social networks, people now consume information differently than before, and, therefore, learn differently. GoodCourse aims to turn corporate learning upside down by offering courses that look more like Instagram stories and are therefore more likely to attract student attention.
According to statistics, the percentage of completed courses on the platform is more than 80%, which is higher than when using traditional e-learning solutions. Courses are usually held for 5 days, with daily classes taking no more than 3 minutes per day, compared to current e-learning models, which usually take more than an hour to complete.
Chris Mansfield, CEO of GoodCourse, said:
 | The learning ecosystem has left workers out of the table for too long. Moreover, social networks have changed the way information is consumed - the time has come for e-learning to catch up. We are very pleased to cooperate with leading investors and operators in the framework of our first fundraising. |  |
GoodCourse will use the funding received to further develop its expertise and training platform, as well as to expand its sales and marketing functions.[1]
