Invest in us

We've signed with the world's #1 ranked university - MIT

Since our last campaign in early 2023 and launching our partnership with our first top 10 ranked university - Imperial College London - we've continued to expand with over 20 new university partnerships in 7 countries, and the launch of our first US partnership and entry into the US market.

>£4mil in profit before tax
for our last financial year

In late 2021, we pioneered a business model of partnering with universities across EMEA to scale coding bootcamp certifications under their brand. We started with just 1 university in December 2021 - the University of Edinburgh - and in 24 months we have successfully grown our model to have a university partner in all of our target markets (Spain, France, Australia, Canada, USA, UK, South Africa) which constitute the largest markets for accelerated tech education in the world.

We've successfully localised these partnerships to launch tech bootcamps and are poised to launch our first set of short courses, accredited pathway programmes, and courses in new subject verticals such as digital marketing and business management. By leveraging the global & local brands of our university partners, we're massively increasing our total addressable market by diversifying into new subjects and course types - beyond tech and bootcamps.

We’re growing the backdrop of our largest competitor - 2U - going bankrupt, with university partners actively ending contracts with 2U to pursue similar agreements with us. We've hired 3 of the top US university account managers from 2U (who managed partnerships with universities that generated >$100mil a year in revenue via 2U online courses) and in late March and early April 2024 are embarking on a roadshow across the US, for which over 20 US universities have already booked meetings with us.

The network effects of our university model allow us to replicate high-demand online education programmes in new markets - be it generative AI short courses, project management certifications, or data science career change bootcamps, we're able to deliver this at scale and profitability with our bespoke online learning technology, workforce of 250+ FTEs rooted in Africa with a highly affordable operating base, and unique ability to tap into long term government and company contracts to scale student financing.

Capital at Risk. Invest Aware

We’ve nearly perfected our university account management and launch model, allowing us to scale to millions in revenue per university partner. The US market is largest than our other 6 markets combined, and the success of securing such a high ranked first partner will allow us to acquire other key prospective partners that we're already in late stage discussions with - including Stanford University ,Georgetown University, and Duke University - faster, to grow our US revenue base faster.

About this secondaries campaign

Our core team have been working on growing HyperionDev for nearly 10 years. Many have taken much lower than market salaries (averaging >£35k/year) and been compensated in equity. Having hit these milestones and delivered above the revenue projection for the financial year that was presented in our last primaries round, we think it's a fair time to go out and seek liquidity for some of our team and to also do this at a time when the business has sufficient funds for growth and sustainability, without outside investment.

As a profitable business, that as of June this year will be highly profitable for two consecutive financial years (with a profit of well over £1mil in each year), we're able to pursue acquisitions and look to value our stock via traditional and high growth methods. After working with Equidam to arrive at an independent valuation, we've priced this secondaries round at £200mil, which is still far below the valuation of edtech companies at similar scale and progress, some which have failed to reach profitability. The stability and endurance of our business gives our university partners confidence that we will protect their brand.

We’ve had £3,000,000 in secondaries investment hard committed to date. We're offering a final £1million in secondaries on a first-come, first-served basis until 9 pm UK time Sunday 24th March 2024. This website will be disabled at that time.
