EduMe raises $20M to scale its corporate learning platform targeting gig workers and other ‘deskless’ employees
EduMe, a London startup that provides online corporate training and education in the form of “microlearning” modules that companies build themselves — aimed at fast-scaling tech businesses and others dealing with large numbers of workers or partners that typically do not work in the same physical location as the business itself — has picked up $20 million in a Series B round. It was originally hatched at Millicom, a telco that focuses on emerging markets (currently in Latin America; historically both LatAm and Africa), with the service originally intended to provide e-learning to the telco’s customer base.
