🎉 Brighteye Fund II - Thank you! 🙏

Hi everyone,

We hope you are well.

We are excited and proud to announce the first close of $54M on Brighteye Ventures’ second fund to keep supporting EdTech entrepreneurs using technology to help people learn and grow! 🎉

Brighteye was launched 3 years ago to provide smart capital for learning technology companies, and while it feels like we are just getting started, we are really grateful to have reached this milestone. Thanks to all of you: entrepreneurs, LPs, investors, accelerators, and EdTech enthusiasts for your confidence and collaboration. 🙏

So what’s next? While we saw acceleration in the sector before 2020, COVID-19 has been an inflection point for many learning technology companies as educators and students have had to adapt to distance learning en masse and millions of displaced workers are seeking to upskill/reskill. We expect that mass exposure to online learning will open immense possibilities for entrepreneurs to make learning more engaging, more relevant, more effective and more accessible and we are excited to accompany the visionaries taking advantage of these trends and help them grow in Europe and North America.

What’s more, we are happy to say that we will have a larger team to support the founders that we back, both on the investment side and on the platform side. Our first hire for platform will be a Head of Communications, so if you know of anyone who could be a fit please send them our way!

Thanks again for being part of our journey.

Onwards! ⚡️

Alex, Ben & David
