Acadeum

Based in Austin, Texas, United States, Acadeum provides a B2B course-sharing software platform that enables colleges and universities to form consortia and cross-enroll students in accredited online classes. The company operates a digital network connecting more than 500 higher education institutions and offering access to an inventory of over 40,000 shared academic courses. With fewer than 25 employees, the platform has successfully facilitated course completions for over 28,000 students across customer institutions like Texas A&M University, while also integrating credentials from partners such as Coursera. Acadeum has raised approximately $24 million in total venture funding to date, including an $11.9 million Series B round backed by institutional investors such as Pearson Ventures, Lumina Foundation, and Rethink Education. The organization was originally founded in 2016 by Joshua Pierce, Nathan Green, Luis Felipe Rincon, Osei Bonsu, and Robert Manzer.
