Aniol Brosa, General Partner at Inveready, says, “We want to support Ucademy in its next stage of growth, alongside an exceptional founding team and partners. We firmly believe in its value proposition and in the vision of Ramiro and Pablo, as well as in the tailwinds in the market that follow years of excellent execution by the team, which has allowed them to position themselves as leaders in their field.”

Fund utilisation

The fresh capital will accelerate the company’s next phase of growth, including the integration of advanced AI capabilities, the launch of new verticals such as vocational training and master’s programs, and continued development of its highly personalised learning platform.

‘This round of financing marks a key milestone in our journey,’ says Ramiro Zandrino, CEO and co-founder of Ucademy. ‘This investment not only strengthens our financial position, but also validates our long-term vision and strategy, and provides us with the resources necessary to execute it.’

Ucademy: Transforming learning with personalisation

Ucademy was founded in 2021 by a team that personally experienced the stress of university entrance exams and competitive tests.

Their mission is to transform learning into something flexible, personalised, and engaging through short, 15-minute video lessons, 24/7 expert support, and a fully interactive digital platform.

Ucademy prepares students for university entrance (including international PCE exams), public service exams, and official vocational training programs like Finance and Administration.

Operating in over 12 countries and the company is backed by a team of 50+ people.

The company’s tech-first approach combines interactive formats with AI-driven personalisation to adapt to each student’s learning pace and goals.
