Oneday, the tech-enabled university where entrepreneurs earn real degrees by building real businesses, today announced it has secured £3 million in growth debt financing from Flashpoint.
Many aspiring founders struggle to access guidance, networks, and hands-on learning as they start businesses. Oneday provides a platform that pairs real venture building with learning support, giving founders tools, mentorship, and personalised pathways to help them progress.
Oneday plans to deploy the funds to advance several core innovation projects, including building AI tools that help founders validate ideas, run experiments, and generate demand faster, reducing the time to first revenue. The vision is an execution engine that accelerates traction by giving founders step-by-step, data-driven actions tailored to their business. An AI layer will enhance every mentor and founder interaction, turning thousands of hours of calls into actionable, personalised guidance. The goal is to create an always-on, context-aware AI mentor that dramatically increases advice quality and founder execution speed.
Every founder’s progress, behaviour, and business data will feed into a personalised roadmap that adapts week by week, ensuring each user gets the right content, tasks, and guidance at the right moment. This creates a tailored, data-driven journey that increases business success rates.
These developments build on the company’s recent rollout of AI chatbots that already assist students with day-to-day questions, making Oneday one of the most forward-thinking education platforms in the EdTech space.
In parallel with its product roadmap, Oneday is expanding its global community. Mentorship and experiential learning sit at the heart of its model, and the company plans to create more opportunities for students to connect in person through city-based events and shared real-world experiences. As its alumni network grows, Oneday is also exploring new ways to provide ongoing access to mentors and post-programme support that helps founders continue progressing long after graduation.
Previous investors include Ananda Venture Partners, BrightEye Ventures, Flint Capital, Outward Capital and Sparkmind VC.
