Anywyse, an Amsterdam-based audio learning platform where everyone can become a creator, announced that it has raised fresh funds. The amount of this round remains undisclosed.
The company was formed during the acceleration programme of the Humanities Lab – University of Amsterdam. The Humanities Lab offers a platform for education about entrepreneurship and is aimed at staff, PhD students, students and alumni. 10X, a corporation that specialises in large-scale production and startup finance, hosted this event.
It was during this programme that Anywyse platform raised its first funding.
“Bite-sized audio summaries made by the smartest senior students”
In the Netherlands, podcasts are very popular. For instance, half of all Dutch people sometimes listen to a podcast. And according to a study by Merkeffect from December 2021, this ratio is highest among students, at 73 per cent. The trick is to convert that listening into learning. And it is precisely the market into which Anywyse ventures.
