Mark Kavelaars, managing partner of Swanlaab Venture Factory said, Swanlaab Tech Fund II led the round with an investment of more than €500k, thus adding to its portfolio the second investment to add six more this year. “From Swanlaab Tech Fund II, we expect to add to this investment from Leemons another 5 or 6 more representing €5-10 million during 2024″.

As Jaime de Antonio del Castillo, Investment Manager of the venture capital firm, commented: "The Ship2B Ventures fund, which specialises in early-stage investment in startups in the greentech and edtech sectors or those that promote improving the quality of vulnerable groups, has also joined the capital inflow. We are committed to proposals such as the one offered by Leemons, with a strong intention to improve student performance to reduce school failure”.
