Financially, it raised an $11 million venture round and has raised a total of $14.5 million in venture capital to date.

The company was founded in 2013 and developed its R&D program on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, working with researchers such as Pierre Dillenbourg and CEDE.

Coorpacademy reports a community of more than 200,000 paying learners and is described in the article as already profitable. The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate growth, recruit staff, expand internationally (a major 2015 strategic axis) and invest in new formats and platform development.
