London-based Oneday, the first platform for formal entrepreneurship education, announced that it has raised $6.2M in a Series A round of funding.
Ananda Impact Ventures, Brighteye Ventures, Outward VC, Flint Capital, and Sparkmind.vc participated in the funding round.
Oneday says it will use the funds to launch its newly accredited MBA programme.
The UK platform will allow students to participate in an 18-month programme, where they will receive one-to-one access to a seven-figure entrepreneur mentor to assist them with the launch of their own revenue-generating business and earn a fully-accredited MBA degree at the same time.
Ranbir Arora and Taras Polik founded Oneday, a new edtech platform challenging the UK’s traditional higher education industry.
The founding duo recognized the need for an alternative type of education as more and more people turn to entrepreneurship, self-employment, and the creator economy instead of corporate jobs.
Through its platform, Oneday focuses on providing practical, real-world experience that prepares budding entrepreneurs for the challenges and opportunities of the modern business landscape.
