Certification platform Certain He raised a $ 11 million series A led by Cherryrock Capital, announced this week.
The company was founded by Ruben García, Pablo Meyer and Federico López in 2023. It allows organizations to develop certification exams in, their founders say, much less cost than traditional methods.
Certifications are an ancient method to obtain technical skills to boost labor perspectives, as well as obtain dominance on a particular topic.
The company says it works with a variety of companies, from the non -profit organization of the Linux Foundation to the Hashicorp software company.
CEO García is not new in the certification industry. He previously co -founded (and sold) innovative exams, a test service company that also provided exam delivery services.
Certified can be “events that change life for leaders and professionals,” he said, but added that he can cost a company up to $ 150,000 to develop certification programs and exams.
“Our clients have developed up to 10 in one year on our platform for less than $ 10,000 per exam,” he continued.
He added that it usually has been creating an exam using inherited suppliers (such as Pearson, Vue and Promotic).
“Our business model is aligned with the interests of our customers and we generate most income once their exams are launched and professionals are taking them,” Garcia continued.
He used the word “focused” to describe his fundraising efforts. Certainthening began the collection of funds in early January, launching about 50 companies over 45 days.
“I kept focused on the result,” Garcia said. “Find the right investors, quickly, who believe in vision and can help us climb from here.”
He met the Cherryrock team through one of his existing investors. Chingona Ventures, Hyde Park Venture Partners and Zeal Capital Partners also participated in the round. Certaintive has raised a little more than $ 16 million in total to date, the company told us.
Garcia said the new capital will be used to add more automation to the platform, which makes it easier for anyone to believe exams.
“Our goal is to focus on the scale and build the platform to launch 1,000 new customers and partners in certainty,” he said.
