$130k angel funding raised by Nigerian ed-tech startup Klas
Klas, a Nigerian ed-tech firm that allows anybody to create an online school and provide live lessons, has acquired $130,000 in angel capital to help it expand.
Klas, founded by Nathan Nwachuku in December 2021, enables producers on its platform to teach a variety of courses through online classes, with its software providing everything they need to teach online, including payments, scheduling, community, analytics, and video conferencing.
Voltron Capital, Cabal Fund, Velocity Digital, and HoaQ participated in the round, as did a number of famous African entrepreneurs, including Tola Adesanmi (Spleet), Odunayo Eweniyi (Piggyvest), Nadayar Enegesi (Eden Life), Njoku Emmanuel (Lazerpay), and Leonard Stiegeler (Jumia).
Klas will use the money into “doubling down on platform innovation” and enabling online classrooms all around the world as part of its aim to unleash the potential of knowledge exchange.
