StudyStash Closes Pre-Seed Funding Round to Advance Student-Centred Learning

StudyStash, a student-founded EdTech company using AI to make studying more effective and inclusive, has officially closed its pre-seed venture round.

Founded by university friends Ben Ward and Jonathan Graham while studying at the University of Birmingham, StudyStash was created out of a shared frustration with the lack of practical, personalised study tools available to students. What began as an idea in their student house has grown into a fast-moving education technology company working with universities across the UK, Europe, the US, and South Africa.

As the CEO of StudyStash, I am delighted to announce the close of our pre-seed venture round. It feels like just yesterday that Jonathan Graham and I were sitting in our university house with the idea. Now it's real.

Building on Proven Success

Since launching, StudyStash has partnered with leading higher education institutions to explore how AI can help improve student engagement, boost completion rates, and reduce academic workload pressures.

Expanding Global Reach

The newly completed pre-seed round will enable the business to expand its university partnerships and enhance the platform's adaptive learning features, ensuring it continues to meet the diverse needs of learners worldwide.

The whole team is working exceptionally hard to bring exceptional teaching and learning technology to universities across the UK, Europe, the US, and even now South Africa.

This momentum will support the business to deepen its research collaborations and scale its reach to support more institutions focused on improving the student experience.

A huge thank you to the angels who believed in our mission - and in us - from day one.
