Founded in 2021, MySkill provides several solutions to help users in developing their careers. Its offerings include an e-learning platform to enhance their skills, private mentoring with experts, and job discovery features. The firm currently has more than 700,000 registered users.
The company was established by Angga Fauzan, who previously worked at investment app Bibit and edtech firm Zenius, and Erahmat, who also serves as a researcher in biotechnology at Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine.
MySkill plans to use the fresh funding to accelerate the adoption of its platform and continue to develop more solutions.
The investment comes after East Ventures announced it raised US$550 million in the final close of its latest fund. Of that amount, the investment major’s founder Willson Cuaca said it will set aside US$150 million for early-stage deals and US$400 million for growth-stage deals.
