Company mission
To help increase educational opportunity and empower people to access high-impact careers.
43% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
StudentFinance uses an Income Share Agreements (ISA) model, which enables students to begin their studies at no cost, only becoming liable to pay the loan back once they've obtained employment and are earning above a certain wage. The company works with multiple stakeholders in this space - students who are looking to build a career, schools looking for partnerships, and employers looking for top talent.
The company has managed over €15 million worth of education financing and is looking to reach €800 million, upskilling over 200,000 people. StudentFinance plans to use its most recent funding to expand operations into new markets, such as Germany, while further establishing itself within the UK. With the global reskilling market expected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2025, there is ample growth opportunity for the company.
