Classet: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)
Classet simplifies the process to start an amazing career in the skilled trades - occupations that typically pay equivalent or more than a bachelors degree, and can be acquired with little to no debt. We bring prospective apprentices from all walks of life together with industry mentors and then allow them to enroll in the top programs across the country through a simple, online common application. We provide remedial learning content for prospective apprentices not meeting the admittance standards, and continued learning content for those already working in the trades to allow them to continue to increase their knowledge and earning power. We currently partner with school districts across the country and work with organizations focusing on a variety of skilled occupations across construction, cosmetology, culinary services, and renewable energy. Higher education is broken in the United States. We focus on creating lasting skills and sustainable earning power for the underserved Blue Collar workforce, without the debt and bureaucracy of the university system.
Classet has raised $3.0M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Seed of $3.0M announced in Dec 2022.
That round is above the $1.5M median round size for Education companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Classet Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Classet is left off this page rather than filled in.
