The University of Applied Management ("UAM") and other existing Lecturio shareholders Holtzbrinck Ventures, Holtzbrinck Digital, Technological Founder's Fund Saxony, and Seventure also participated in the round. 

The growth capital from this round will be used to expand Lecturio's global footprint, further strengthen its product offering in medical and nursing education, and support a consolidation strategy in the fragmented healthcare-education solutions market.

Lecturio has built a highly advanced and comprehensive video-based healthcare-education platform that has been adopted by many leading medical and nursing schools around the world and features educators from Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, UCL, Imperial, and more. The uniquely comprehensive content base of over 10,000 videos with linked quiz questions, concept pages, and a clinical case question bank combines with a powerful teaching and analytics engine to enable more effective and scalable education and capacity building in any setting.

With Lecturio, students gain access to premier medical-education materials and artificial intelligence learning support. Educators and institutions are able to control and add content to their own systems, enabling more efficient self-directed and blended learning and assessment with advanced analytics.

Sterling brings nearly four decades of global experience in both education investing and developing global education businesses at scale, including in the medical, nursing, and health sciences. Among many other education investments, Sterling portfolio company Laureate Education, founded and led by Sterling Co-Founder Douglas Becker, became the largest global network of higher education institutions, with over 1 million students, including more than 250,000 health-science students.

"We are very pleased to be able to help build on Lecturio's successful journey to date. We believe the team has built a powerful product that addresses fundamental needs of students, educators, and care facility operators for next-generation education and training delivery," said Douglas Becker, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Sterling Partners.

"We are excited by the opportunity to partner with Sterling and the existing Lecturio investors to support the global growth of Lecturio. Medical and nursing education is rapidly embracing digital innovation, and Lecturio is already a partner to over 150 healthcare institutions around the world," said Neel Broker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Inspara Partners.

"This investment opens up a new chapter in Lecturio's history, enabling us to widen our footprint and expand our offering. Our relationship with Sterling and Inspara has grown over the last several years, and we are excited to have them support us and share their unique set of capabilities and relationships in global education delivery," said Stefan Wisbauer and Pascal Bendien, Co-CEOs of Lecturio.
