Collabco is a Liverpool-based provider of software for the education sector, launched in 2011 and led by Executive Chairman Jim Chambers. Its core product, myday, lets universities, schools and colleges present students with information via an app to view timetables and learning materials, access library and other services, and make payments on mobile or laptop. The software is in use at 12 higher-education institutions across the UK, with recent customer wins including Falmouth, Highlands & Islands and Wolverhampton universities. The company received a further £450K in a third funding round and has raised over £1.3m in total to date. Collabco plans to use the new funds to grow sales and marketing and to continue development of its software. Collabco, founded in 2009 and based in Liverpool, builds a system that collates information students need—calendars, timetables, attendance, grades, library information, fines and payments, news and social media feeds—integrated with institutions' virtual learning environments and accessible on laptops and mobile devices. The platform is used by over 30 higher education institutions across the UK. The company was founded by IT professional Dave Bown and is led by Managing Director Matt Dunkin. Collabco raised £250K in the latest funding round and had previously raised an earlier round in March 2014, bringing total funds raised to £920K. The company intends to use the new funds to continue to expand operations. No revenue or user-count metrics beyond institutional deployment were provided in the article.
