The largest disclosed round in this Germany education set is Lecturio’s $45M on 2021-12-15, and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount of $23M (Sharpist, 2022-02-15). Disclosed amounts also show a wide spread: the smallest disclosed round is $500K (cabuu, 2021-12-22), while the rest of the disclosed values cluster in the low single-digit millions and single-digit “tens” rather than repeatedly reaching the mid-$10M+ range.
Geographically, Berlin shows up repeatedly across multiple years (e.g., Lendorse $11M on 2024-09-04, Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27, Knowunity $10M on 2023-02-15, and CareerFoundry $5M on 2022-12-14), suggesting a concentration rather than single-incident listings. Temporally, the 28 rows run from 2021-11-01 (Wonderwerk) to 2025-07-02 (StudyFriends), with multiple releases clustered in 2024 (notably 2024-05 through 2024-09). Stage data is also uneven: 11/28 rows list “undisclosed” or “Series Unknown” amounts (e.g., StudyFriends 2025-07-02 is undisclosed; eKidz.eu 2025-05-15 is $100K with “Series Unknown”).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round here, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Lecturio’s $45M (2021-12-15) is the clear outlier: the next-largest disclosed amount is $23M (Sharpist, 2022-02-15), and most other disclosed rounds sit below that mid-$20M level (e.g., Bling.de $12M in 2024-06-27; Tomorrow’s Education $10M in 2023-06-20 and Knowunity $10M in 2023-02-15).
Are there cities that appear often enough to indicate a concentration rather than one-off coverage?
Berlin is repeatedly represented across different stages and years (Lendorse $11M on 2024-09-04; Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27; Cleverly.de $5M on 2023-09-13; Knowunity $10M on 2023-02-15; CareerFoundry $5M on 2022-12-14). Other cities appear fewer times in the rows shown (e.g., Munich with eKidz.eu 2025-05-15, simpleclub 2024-05-15, and Ubimaster 2022-10-18 is in Baierbrunn).
Which parts of the timeline look most active among these most-recent 28 entries?
2024 contains a dense block of rounds: several entries land between 2024-05-15 and 2024-09-16 (simpleclub $4M on 2024-05-15; Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27; VARM $6M on 2024-07-17; Lendorse $11M on 2024-09-04; Smalt $9M on 2024-09-16). Earlier than 2022 is comparatively thinner in this slice, aside from the 2021-11 to 2021-12 window (Wonderwerk 2021-11-01; cabuu 2021-12-22; Lecturio 2021-12-15).
How often is stage clarity missing via “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts?
Stage/amount reporting is incomplete in 11 of 28 rows: “undisclosed” amounts appear for StudyFriends (2025-07-02), 3spin Learning (2024-01-16), Masterplan.com (2023-11-03), codary (2022-09-12), medudy (2022-08-23), and others; “Series Unknown” appears on eKidz.eu (2025-05-15, $100K), Lendorse (2024-09-04, $11M), simpleclub (2024-05-15, $4M), and multiple 2023–2024 entries like CareerFoundry (2022-12-14, $5M).
Are there additional outliers besides the largest round, especially on the low end?
Yes on the low end: cabuu’s $500K (2021-12-22) is the smallest disclosed amount in the table, followed by $1M rounds such as Safeverse ($1M, 2022-09-12) and Gyde ($1M, 2022-08-05). By contrast, several disclosed rounds cluster at $5M–$12M (e.g., cleverly.de $5M on 2023-09-13; Junto $5M on 2022-08-10; Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27), making the $500K entry notably smaller than the typical disclosed scale.
