London-based edtech Unibuddy raises £14.5M to transform university admissions process

The pandemic made the current work from home and study from home a new norm. Students around the world attend classes online, right from their homes, and the current graduating class will most likely need to apply for a college online. With the aim of helping students make better decisions about their higher education, the global edtech startup Unibuddy has raised a notable £14.5 million in its series B funding round. 

The latest funding for Unibuddy was Highland Europe with additional participation from Stride.VC. Including the latest funding round, the startup has secured a total of £23.2 million since its inception in 2017. In a conversation with UKTN, the company’s co-founder and CEO Diego Fanara reveals more on how the latest funds will be utilised.

“This funding will help Unibuddy tackle a variety of strategic priorities. We’re excited about tripling the size of our engineering team. Over the next 18 months, we will launch a new suite of virtual event and community group products with advanced CRM integrations that democratize the student funnel data across institutions’ technology infrastructure,” Fanara reveals.
