Three funds on Sesamers carry an edtech thesis. Only one, Brighteye Ventures, is an edtech specialist; the other two are angel networks with edtech as one of several sectors.

Pre-seed to Series A – education technology, workforce development, skills training London, United Kingdom (and Paris) $245M AUM across vehicles · €400K-€4M
Europe's edtech specialist fund, backing more than 55 companies at the intersection of learning and work. Frames its thesis as the "HumanOS": systems that help people learn, work and adapt continuously as software becomes more autonomous.
Why it is hereThe only dedicated edtech fund on this desk – if your company is edtech first, this is the natural first call in Europe.

Pre-seed and seed – edtech among six sectors Paris, France €330K average · up to €500K+
A Paris angel network whose members have invested more than €50M in portfolio companies, reinvesting in later rounds of existing backings. Edtech sits alongside data and AI, HR tech, biotech, agtech and greentech.
Why it is hereA generalist angel network with edtech coverage – useful for a French pre-seed edtech founder building a broader angel base.

Early stage – edtech among five sectors Barcelona, Spain €10K-€1M
The business angel network of Esade Alumni's Entrepreneurs and Investors Club in Barcelona, channelling trained private investors into early-stage Spanish companies alongside other network members or venture funds. A founding member of AEBAN and EBAN.
Why it is hereThe Spanish angel entry point for edtech founders, usually investing alongside other network members rather than alone.
Three is a thin bench for this vertical, and it reflects the data honestly: outside Brighteye’s dedicated specialism, edtech funding in Europe runs largely through generalist angel networks and funds that do not name edtech as a core thesis. A dedicated Series A or growth-stage edtech fund beyond Brighteye is a real gap in the database.
Common questions
Is there a dedicated European edtech fund?
Yes – Brighteye Ventures, based in London and Paris, is Europe's specialist edtech fund with $245M AUM, backing more than 55 companies from pre-seed to Series A.
Why are only 3 funds listed?
Only three funds on Sesamers carry the edtech tag explicitly. Two are generalist angel networks (Paris Business Angels, Esade BAN) rather than edtech specialists – a real gap in the database for growth-stage edtech capital.
Does Sesamers take payment for placement on this list?
No. Investors are listed because they carry a verified edtech thesis in the Sesamers database and are ranked by published fund size.
