Research Outline

EdTech Unicorns - Details

Goals

To provide the website, country, date of the latest funding round, size of the latest funding round, valuation as of 2019 and links to three news articles for the EdTech Unicorns identified in the spreadsheet. The news articles should mention that the company has achieved the Unicorn status.

Early Findings

  • We have provided the website and country of all of the identified EdTech Unicorns. In addition, we have also provided complete details for VIPKid, Udemy, 17zuoye, Coursera, ExecOnline, and Guild Education. This information has been provided in the shared spreadsheet.
  • We were unable to find any indication that ExecOnline is indeed a Unicorn. While the company's valuation as of 2019 is not publicly available, different sources provide estimates of the company's valuation.
  • According to Crunchbase, PrivCo estimates ExecOnline's post-money valuation ranging from $100 million to $500 million as of October 02, 2018. On the other hand, Dealroom.com estimates the company's valuation in the range of $72 million to $108 million as of October 2018.
  • No news articles mentioning ExecOnline as a Unicorn were found.
  • Three articles indicating Udemy has achieved Unicorn status were also not found in this hour of research.
