Global consumer edtech firm MyOnlineSchool has received seed funding to the tune of $678,000 from a new team of investors.
MyOnlineSchool aims to help students worldwide unlock their hidden creativity using weekly video lessons, tutorial assignments, personal feedback and 1-2-1 critiques with world-leading experts in their specialist field.
The funding will accelerate production of their high-end online vocational and hobbyist courses, advance the design of their responsive virtual classrooms and websites, and increase their portfolio of schools.

He said:
“Leaf Investments is constantly looking for exciting, innovative and disruptive edtech businesses.
