Among the 15 education-focused private equity deals shown, only one disclosed round breaks the $200M+ band: GoGuardian’s $200M on 2021-08-05, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $215M (Inspirali on 2022-04-01) and $50M–$100M levels (e.g., GiveCampus $50M on 2022-09-19, Vera Whole Health $50M on 2021-08-05, CE Broker $100K on 2022-01-12). The other disclosed figures are comparatively clustered below $50M (CE Broker $100K; Lecturio $45M on 2021-12-15; eSpark $25M on 2022-01-05), making the disclosed-size spread wide even within the same funding label.
Most rounds in this snapshot sit in a concentrated 2022 window (nine of 15 entries dated 2022, spanning 2022-01-12 through 2022-09-19), while the list also includes two entries on the same earliest month in 2021 (2021-08-05: GoGuardian and Vera Whole Health). On geography, the dataset is dispersed across countries (India, the U.S., Spain, Brazil, Germany), and the disclosure pattern is heavily weighted toward undisclosed amounts: 10 of 15 entries show “undisclosed” versus five disclosed amounts. The most recent row is Lighthouse Learning (2025-11-25, undisclosed), and the oldest disclosed date in the rows is 2021-08-05 (GoGuardian and Vera Whole Health).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed private-equity education round in this list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Inspirali’s $215M on 2022-04-01 is the largest disclosed amount; it sits well above the next-largest disclosed levels, including GoGuardian’s $200M (2021-08-05) and several $45M–$50M rounds (Lecturio $45M on 2021-12-15; GiveCampus $50M on 2022-09-19; Vera Whole Health $50M on 2021-08-05).
Are there tight time clusters in the most recent 15 entries, or are dates spread out?
Dates concentrate in 2022: nine of 15 entries are dated in 2022, ranging from CE Broker on 2022-01-12 through GiveCampus on 2022-09-19. Outside that, the snapshot includes two entries on 2021-08-05 (GoGuardian and Vera Whole Health) and then a gap until the 2025-11-25 Lighthouse Learning and 2025-09-11 Guidewell Education entries.
Which entries are outliers on disclosed deal size, including the smallest disclosed amount?
The smallest disclosed amount is CE Broker’s $100K on 2022-01-12, which is far below the other disclosed figures (eSpark $25M on 2022-01-05; Lecturio $45M on 2021-12-15; GiveCampus $50M on 2022-09-19). At the top end, Inspirali’s $215M (2022-04-01) and GoGuardian’s $200M (2021-08-05) stand apart from most other disclosed amounts that cluster below $100M.
How dominant is undisclosed deal sizing in this private-equity education slice?
Disclosure is uneven: 10 of 15 entries list the amount as “undisclosed,” including Lighthouse Learning (2025-11-25) and Guidewell Education (2025-09-11). Only five entries have disclosed amounts, such as Inspirali $215M (2022-04-01) and GoGuardian $200M (2021-08-05).
Do any cities or regions show over-representation, or is the geography broadly distributed?
Geography is distributed rather than city-dense: the U.S. appears multiple times (e.g., Guidewell Education in Sacramento on 2025-09-11; GiveCampus in Washington, D.C. on 2022-09-19; eSpark in Chicago on 2022-01-05), but no single city repeats in the 15-row sample. Outside the U.S., examples include Lighthouse Learning in Mumbai (2025-11-25), Seabery in Cantabria, Spain (2022-07-19), and Inspirali in São Paulo, Brazil (2022-04-01).
