Certification platform Certiverse<\/a> raised an $11 million Series<\/a> A led by Cherryrock Capital, it announced this week.<\/p>\n

The company was founded by Ruben Garcia, Pablo Meyer, and Federico Lopez in 2023. It lets organizations develop certification exams at, its founders say, far less cost than traditional methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Certifications are an age-old method to gain technical skills to boost job prospects, as well as gain mastery over a particular subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company says it works with a range of companies, from the technology<\/a> nonprofit The Linux Foundation to the software company HashiCorp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CEO Garcia is not new to the certification industry. He previously co-founded (and sold) Innovative Exams, a testing-service company that also provided exam delivery services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Becoming certified can be \u201clife changing events for leaders and professionals,\u201d he said, but added that it can cost a company as much as $150,000 to develop certification programs and exams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur clients have developed up to 10 in one year on our platform for less than $10,000 per exam,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

He added that it usually takes about a year to create an exam using legacy providers (such as Pearson, Vue, and Prometric).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur business model is aligned with our clients\u2019 interests and we generate the majority of the revenue once their exams are launched and professionals are taking them,\u201d Garcia continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He used the word \u201cfocused\u201d to describe his fundraising efforts. Certiverse started fundraising in early January, pitching to around 50 firms over the course of 45 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI stayed focused on the outcome,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cFind the right investors, quickly, who believe in the vision and can help us scale from here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He met the Cherryrock team through one of his existing investors. Chingona Ventures, Hyde Park Venture Partners, and Zeal Capital Partners also participated in the round. Certiverse has raised a little more than $16 million in total to date, the company told us.<\/p>\n

Garcia said the fresh capital will be used to add more automation to the platform, making it easier for anyone to create exams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to focus on scale and build out the platform to launch 1,000 new clients and partners on Certiverse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
