Our take
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 $75M 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 is capitalizing on the shift towards hybrid learning.
With the development of alternative education post-pandemic, Outschool continues to remain committed to empowering parents wiand students with a variety of flexible and personalized learning opportunities. And with a successful 2024 under its belt, the future is sure to be one of even more growth for the company.
