UK EdTech MyEdSpace Secures €12.8M In Series A Round To Fuel US Expansion

The funding was led by White Star Capital, with participation from Educapital, Emerge, Active Partners, and Coalition Capital.

Sean Hirons, Co-founder of MyEdSpace, said: “We set out to combine the best teachers, leading technology, and the power of social media to build a platform that delivers the education that young people want and deserve. Our model makes learning affordable and ends the postcode lottery of achievement.

“With this funding and the support of our investors, we can take the next step in making world-class education available to every child in the UK, and now in the US. It brings us one step closer to being able to provide free access for every UK child on free school meals, which we set as a long-term company goal.”

MyEdSpace’s Series A makes it one of Europe’s most ambitious mid-stage EdTech raises in 2025. While many peers remain in seed rounds (e.g., Edumentors’ €1.7M) or pursue later-stage funding to scale (e.g., Knowunity’s €27M Series B), MyEdSpace stands out for both size and ambition.

The funding will support hiring teachers, expanding subject offerings and rolling out AI-powered learning tools combining live instruction with tech-driven enhancement. Its planned U.S. expansion also follows the cross-border scaling trend seen in European EdTechs like Evulpo and PyxiScience. Overall, MyEdSpace is accelerating from early-stage growth into a more capital-intensive scaling phase, placing it at the forefront of Europe’s 2025 EdTech momentum.

Nicholas Stocks, General Partner at White Star Capital, added: “The education system is struggling – there aren’t enough teachers, and the attainment gap between those with access to private tuition or schooling and those without continues to widen.

“MyEdSpace is transforming the way young people learn by combining outstanding teachers with scalable technology. They are helping to bridge the divide and widen access to world-class education, and we are proud to back the team as they expand across the UK and into the US.”

Since its 2022 launch, MyEdSpace has supported over 16,000 students. In 2025, 51% of its GCSE Maths students achieved grades 7–9—more than three times the national average.

Co-founders Sean Hirons and Kharis Yanakidis, who come from families prioritizing education, left finance to create the platform they wished they had in school.

The Series A comes after a period of strong growth, including the company’s first live lesson in the United States. MyEdSpace is now scaling its UK model across the Atlantic, with courses starting in October.

Amid teacher shortages, budget constraints, and an unregulated tutoring market, MyEdSpace takes a different approach. Its teachers selected from the top 1% in the UK—deliver live lessons to thousands of students simultaneously. With a social media following of over 4 million, they break down complex concepts in engaging, relatable formats.

This hybrid model enables MyEdSpace to offer high-quality education at scale, with lessons starting at just £5 per hour, compared to the UK average of £37 for online tutoring.
