After a recent round of funding from international investors led by Lightrock India and additional investors from Sequoia Capital India and Tiger Global, Scaler has broken the $700 million ceiling on their most recent valuation.
The sum of $55 million was raised from primary investors, bringing the total funding to $76.5 million. This pushed the ed-tech start-up to $700 million in its total value.
More About Scaler
Scaler comes from humble beginnings as an interview prep app for helping candidates land jobs in India. However, its founders noticed a distinct gap between candidates in the tech industry. They created Scaler to try to bridge this gap and give less fortunate candidates the education they need to achieve their dreams.
The basis is that customers will buy a six or eight-month course for typically around $3,350. They then attend the class online three or four times a week. The courses have videos, coursework, mentors, and assistants to help customers learn about their chosen skills.
With this most recent bout of funding, Scaler will pursue international expansion, with one of their focus markets being the US. They’ve shown incredible growth, and their candidates have landed jobs at Amazon and other prestigious companies, making the future incredibly bright for the ed-tech industry.
However, the competition will doubtlessly be fierce as other upskilling ed-tech companies have already entered the US market, like SkillShare and Amphy. As the market for education technology continues to expand, we’ll no doubt see a new kind of education training take over the market.
