Edtech startup Microverse has tapped new venture funding in its quest to help train students across the

globe to code through its online school that requires zero upfront cost, instead relying on an income-
share agreement that kicks in when students find a job.

The startup tells TechCrunch it has closed a $12.5 million Series A led by Northzone with additional
participation from General Catalyst, All Iron Ventures and a host of angel investors. We last covered the
company after it had closed a bout of seed funding from General Catalyst and Y Combinator; this latest
round brings the startup’s total funding to just under $16 million.
