Fund History
- Educapital was founded in 2017 by Marie-Christine Levet and Litzie Maarek and bills itself as Europe's largest EdTech and Future of Work venture fund.
- The firm manages 150 million euros and writes checks of up to 10 million euros per company, entering at late seed and following through Series B, which places it among the few European managers able to lead a specialist education round and still hold reserves for a growth extension.
- Individual fund names, vintages, closes and limited partners are not disclosed publicly, so the split of that capital between vehicles is not verifiable from the firm's own materials.
- The portfolio now runs past 45 companies across two declared lines, education and future of work, with names including Preply, Labster, KnowUnity, Lunii, Makers Academy, O'clock, EdFlex and Nolej on the education side and 360Learning, Chance, Merci App, SuperMood and Simundia on the work side.
