Sector: Education Technology / AI Upskilling. Advisor: Not disclosed. Key Entities: Target: Multiverse; Lead Investor: Schroders Capital; Participating Investors: General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, D1 Capital Partners, Index Ventures, Bond, StepStone Group; Key Executive: Euan Blair (Founder & CEO). Location: London, UK. Note: Founded in 2016 by Euan Blair, Multiverse originally launched to match school leavers with apprenticeships.

The company has secured major partnerships with the UK government (which aims to train 10 million workers in AI), the NHS (via Palantir), and tech giants like Microsoft and Databricks. Following its first-ever cash-positive quarter in early 2026, this £52m capital injection will accelerate Multiverse's European expansion, building upon its recent acquisition of Berlin-based AI training firm StackFuel.
