Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Ireland education list, and how different is it from the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Tigers Childcare’s $12M (2021-11-10) is the largest disclosed amount, and it is materially above the next-largest disclosed levels: $4M for Catalyst (2024-04-22) and $3M for The Corporate Governance Institute (2025-05-21) and Educatly (2024-07-29).
Which Irish cities are most represented, and do they cluster by geography?
Dublin is the dominant location with 8 of 15 entries (e.g., The Corporate Governance Institute on 2025-05-21 for $3M; Digital Learning Institute on 2023-07-19 for $2M; Olus Education on 2023-10-06 with undisclosed amount). Cork accounts for 3 entries (Change by Degrees on 2025-03-03 for $730K; SimpleStudy on 2024-02-04 for $810K; Everywhere English on 2023-04-14 with undisclosed amount).
Do the most recent rounds cluster into a tight window?
Yes. Five of the 15 entries close in 2025, spanning 2025-02-08 (Learn Chinese Plus, $100K) through 2025-05-21 (The Corporate Governance Institute, $3M). Separately, 2024 is also dense: 8 of 15 rounds fall between 2024-02-04 (SimpleStudy, $810K) and 2024-10-09 (Numeracy for Life, $550K).
What does the disclosed stage/round-type pattern look like here?
“Series Unknown” appears 4 times as the round type (Numeracy for Life on 2024-10-09 for $550K; Everywhere English on 2023-04-14 with undisclosed amount; Change by Degrees on 2025-03-03 is Seed; and others include Catalyst on 2024-04-22 and Digital Learning Institute is Seed—so the only explicit Series Unknowns in the provided rows are Catalyst, Everywhere English, Numeracy for Life, and one Venture - Series Unknown entry). In parallel, amount is undisclosed in 4 of 15 rows (e.g., Olus Education on 2023-10-06; Zick Learn on 2023-01-16; ETU on 2022-08-24; Everywhere English on 2023-04-14).
Are there any additional outliers besides the $12M round?
On the smaller end, Learn Chinese Plus is the smallest disclosed amount at $100K on 2021-02-08, which sits far below the surrounding disclosed rounds (for example, Bowsy at $300K on 2022-04-19 and the $2M–$3M band for multiple 2024–2025 entries such as Examfly at $2M on 2024-02-06). Also, multiple entries have undisclosed amounts (4 rows total), so comparisons to those require caution.
