Vancouver-based EdTech startup Riipen, which has created an experiential learning platform that allows companies to connect with post-secondary schools on projects, has closed a $5 million CAD pre-Series A.

Riipen told BetaKit the funding will be used to diversify its offering in order to reach more students, as well as expand globally.

“To address this problem, we created Riipen to change the relationship between educational institutions and employers.

Riipen is a powerful, proven platform that enables companies to rapidly identify and recruit students to work on projects.

Riipen has offices in Vancouver and Toronto, and confirmed with BetaKit that it has plans to open an office in the US next year. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1576089005.8753703/Vancouver-EdTech-startup-Riipen-raises-$5-million?ref=audio_experience
