Medly AI has raised almost £6 million seed funding ‘to give every kid an AI tutor’.
Described as the world’s first AI tutor for exam prep, the platform launched in February 2025 and claims to have scaled its user base to more than 400,000 in the UK alone.
It has also joined major British success stories ElevenLabs and Pearson in being awarded the Department for Education’s competitive AI Tutoring Tools Pioneers Programme grant in July this year, which is focused on improving the academic attainment of disadvantaged pupils across England.
The round was led by Felix Capital and backed by existing investors Eka Ventures and Ada Ventures.
