Lecturio raises $45 million in growth capital with Taylor Wessing

The international e-learning platform Lecturio GmbH ("Lecturio") has raised 40 million euros in fresh capital: The round was led jointly by Sterling Partners ("Sterling") and Inspara Partners ("Inspara"), which had previously invested in the Leipzig-based company in a partnership. The University of Applied Management ("UAM") is also among the backers. A Taylor Wessing team led by Berlin-based partner Norman Röchert advised Lecturio on all legal issues related to the investment round.

The Leipzig-based company is one of the leading educational platforms, especially in medical education, with its state-of-the-art, video-based learning approach. With the fresh money, the company intends to strengthen its international presence and expand its product offering. Strategic consolidation of the fragmented healthcare education market is also on the agenda here.

Sterling is a Chicago-based investment management platform focused on healthcare, education and business services.

Inspara is an education-focused investment and advisory platform with long-standing expertise in education technology and higher education.

UAM is part of a private network of private universities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Malte that uses a wide range of innovative didactic formats in its degree programs.
