The software engineering education provider has added learning tools to its offering and secured funding from investors including Pearson Ventures.
Educational publisher Pearson took part in a $20m series B round for US-based software engineering education provider Holberton yesterday through strategic investment arm Pearson Ventures.
The round was led by Redpoint Eventures, the partnership between venture capital firms Redpoint Ventures and E.ventures, and also featured Daphni, Imaginable Futures, Reach Capital and Trinity Ventures.
Holberton’s core offering has been its computer science school, Holberton School, but it now also offers customers such as educational institutions and corporations a mixture of curricula and software tools to help them train software engineers.
Daphni led a $2.3m seed round for the company in 2017 that included Reach Capital and angel investor Jerry Murdock, before Daphni, Trinity Ventures and Omidyar Network added $8.2m in a 2018 series A round reportedly taking its total funding to $13m.
