Multiverse has raised around £52 million in primary funding to drive growth across Europe.
The London firm, which achieved unicorn status in 2022 after securing a valuation of around £1.4 billion in a funding round, is valued at £1.57bn by the new strategic investment, which was led by Schroders Capital.
Originally launched as a business focused on matching people without university degrees to employers offering apprenticeships, the firm has evolved significantly in recent years.
Its core focus is now on retraining and upskilling employees already in work – many of them mid-career professionals – with a particular focus on AI and tech adoption.
Participating in the latest round were existing investors including General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, D1 Capital Partners, Index Ventures, Bond and StepStone Group.
The investment will accelerate Multiverse’s expansion across Europe. It completed the acquisition of Berlin-based data and AI training company StackFuel in January 2026.
