“This funding will allow us to consolidate our learning platform and achieve our goal of reaching a million students at the end of 2022,” said Andrés Núñez to IBL News.

“This way, we will become the leading learning platform for universities and businesses in Latin America.”

Founded in 2019, Griky has served over 20 universities and 10 companies, with a total of 200,000 learners in seven countries to date.

“With Griky, universities are able to implement in four weeks their own branded ecosystem with over 50,000 educational resources,” explained Andrés Núñez.
