Students on dental, veterinary and physiotherapy courses gain an academic lift with personalised development plans thanks to Liverpool University spinout Liftupp.
Liftupp, a UK-based academic performance monitoring platform spun out from Liverpool University, has raised £425,000 ($635,000) from the North West Fund.
Liftupp’s software was developed by Liverpool University’s Dental Education Group. It links into dental, veterinary and physiotherapy courses and provides real-time monitoring of student performance to offer personalised development plans.
The North West Fund invested in Liftupp through its Digital & Creative fund managed by AXM Venture Capital.
Chris Unsworth, intellectual property manager at Liverpool University, said: “The investment in Liftupp is the latest endorsement of the ambitious entrepreneurial and innovative culture at Liverpool University.”
David James, operations manager for Liftupp, said: “Following our success in the dental education market, the team was keen to expand the product for use in new markets. The investment from AXM, coupled with the support we have received from the University, will allow us to achieve this.”
