The COVID19 pandemic saw radical changes to the needs of institutions, companies, and individuals. A few select businesses were, by chance, perfectly poised to meet them. One such company is Outschool. Its online platform for extracurricular classes is aimed at homeschooled students, a group that ballooned over 2020.
Outschool achieved Unicorn status in mid-2021, closing a $75 million Series C round. The hope of Outschool, and the tele-teaching sector at large, is that lucrative investment rounds like this mean hybrid online/offline learning is here to stay. Certainly, Outschool enjoyed swift growth and a place in Y Combinator years before lockdown began. Importantly, it has maintained an encouraging level of growth as schools reopen, and plans to capitalize on this shift towards hybrid learning.
Its focus on a broad selection of small-scale classes sets it apart from competitors like Varsity Tutors. Moreover, if its service remains a supplement to core education, and not a replacement for it, the company will carve out a lucrative and long-term relationship with traditional institutions as the Ed-Tech sector develops.
