Career Masterclass, the leading digital career development platform for black and ethnically-diverse professionals secures backing of new investors to help with the next stage of the company’s growth.
As many of you may already know, Career Masterclass is an organisation on a mission to become the one-stop career development platform helping to level the playing field for professionals from under-represented or under-served groups and supporting them in a range of ways including its digital platform and events such as its upcoming STRETCH conference. Now, its talented team has just secured support from two renowned business owners and financial service experts following their latest crowdfunding success.
Lead investors Claire Lincoln-White and David Newland of New Link Consulting joined over 200 backers from across the globe who raised £413,000 to help scale the impact and reach of the digital career development platform.
The crowdfunding campaign raised 186% of its target and the funds will now be invested into the development of the Career Masterclass platform, to hire key staff and on marketing and broader brand penetration.
