Chúc mừng Aditya, Như và công ty Schola Live đã được mua lại bởi BrightChamps, một công ty edtech có trụ sở tại Ấn Độ.

Đội ngũ của chúng tôi may mắn có cơ hội hỗ trợ Schola khi quỹ 500 Startups Vietnam là nhà đầu tư đầu tiên và đã làm việc trực tiếp cùng họ qua chương trình tăng trưởng Saola Accelerator. Thương vụ này cũng đánh dấu một exit nữa của 500VN.

Hai nhà sáng lập Adi và Như cùng chia sẻ đam mê lớn lao với ngành giáo dục, và chúng tôi rất mong được thấy những thành tựu tiếp theo của họ trên hành trình cùng BrightChamps xây dựng một nền tảng học trực tuyến hàng đầu thế giới.

Schola is BrightChamps’ first acquisition with its US$100 million war chest.

“I was pulling team members from Netflix, Facebook and Google. A lot of that energy came from these people—who were not just some of the brightest in the Valley—but people who were so humble, wanted to share, and just had fun with each other.
It was a very special time building that culture seeing everyone on the same mission and care for one another. But, you know, at some point that family has to become a sports team," Binh Tran, General Partner, 500 Startups Vietnam.

Special thanks to Overseas Vietnamese for helping Binh share his life story and journey in tech.
