Brighteye closes $72M Fund III to back the layer beyond edtech
What's the deal? Brighteye VenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a London-based edtech venture capital firm, has closed its third fund at $72 million. Fund III will back startups building what the firm calls "HumanOS" — the layer beyond traditional edtech.
Why now? The raise comes as defence and AI infrastructure absorb a growing share of Europe's venture capital. Brighteye is betting on a category it sees as distinct from the crowded field of learning software.
What's the endgame? The firm is moving past classic edtech toward tools that support human capability more broadly. Fund III gives it fresh capital to back that thesis at an early stage.
The signal: A dedicated edtech fund closing in a market dominated by defence and AI shows conviction that human-focused technology remains investable. Brighteye is positioning itself for the next wave rather than the current one.
