Oneday, a London, UK-based edtech startup that is disrupting the conventional higher education sector in the UK by developing a formal education system around entrepreneurship, raised $6.2 million in Series A funding.
The round was led by Ananda Impact Ventures and Brighteye Ventures, along with Outward VC, Flint Capital, and Sparkmind.vc.
The total amount raised by the company to date is $10.2 million and the recent secured investment will be used to introduce an accredited MBA program.
Ranbir Arora, founder, and CEO of Oneday said, “Following successful fundraising of $6.2 million, we are hugely excited to launch our new MBA programme, which is just the first step in creating a broader education system around entrepreneurship. It’s clear to see that AI is fundamentally taking over routine knowledge work jobs, and at Oneday, we see this as an exciting opportunity to reposition our society into solving new problems for humanity through creating new businesses, instead of teaching students how to do things we already know how to do.”
Over 2,000 students have already launched their businesses through Oneday’s platform, which enables them to earn an accredited MBA degree while simultaneously building a profitable, revenue-generating enterprise.
