Futura’s platform makes the private tutoring experience accessible to everyone. Thanks to supervised and reinforced learning the company want to offer high-quality learning content to everyone.

The new financing will help Futura’s ambitious growth projects, with the aim of European expansion and quadruple the revenues in 2022: “We are proud that investors of this calibre have decided to believe in Futura, its mission and its team. This seed round is an important first step made possible by the great work of an incredible team that every day is committed to improving the learning experience for thousands of students. We want to overcome the economic barrier that often prevents students from accessing top-quality learning and deliver personalised learning experiences across the globe”, said Andrea Chirolli, Founder of Futura.
