Guild Education, Upskilling
Guild Education, which pairs employees with employer-sponsored learning opportunities, has raised $150 million in a Series E round. The financing event, funded by Bessemer Venture Partners, Cowboy Ventures, D1, Emerson Collective, General Catalyst, GSV, Harrison Metal, ICONIQ, Redpoint and Salesforce Ventures, values the company at $3.75 billion.
With the money, Guild plans to grow its coaching team, expand its learning marketplaces with more short-term certificate opportunities and double down on its outreach with historically Black colleges and universities. The cash comes at a time when lifelong learning — the concept that students learn and up-skill beyond early adulthood — is becoming more mainstream of a concept in edtech.
