Founded in late-2015, we are a rapidly growing company transforming the way students and educators access and interact with learning materials. Our revenue has grown rapidly, with 90% CAGR in the last three years to $100m per year. Our last significant fundraise was $21m in a Series B funding round led by Nesta Impact Investments, with participation from Guinness Asset Management, Stonehage Fleming, and Oxford Sciences Enterprises.
In late 2023, we acquired Texas Book Company (now ‘BibliU Campus’) in order to deliver a more complete solution of products and services to higher ed students, faculty and administrators across the US. Since the addition of BibliU Campus, our US organic growth has exploded and is now 90% of our business. We are very excited about our growth and are expanding the team to meet our new market potential!
