Knōd

Knōd is an education startup that aims to bridge the gap between universities and employers by assessing soft skills through project-based learning and adding work experience to CVs. Founded in 2013, the company addresses the disparity between academic readiness and employer expectations. Knod's approach involves employers in the talent development process, offering a 21st-century learning experience in partnership with them. The platform facilitates real-world projects, enabling students to gain hands-on experience and relevant skills, enhancing their career readiness. With its headquarters in the United States, Knod received a $6.20M investment in the Venture Round on 12 May 2015, with EPIC Ventures and Zuma Partners as investors. The company's commitment to transforming education through real-world experience positions it as a prospective venture for investors seeking innovative solutions in the education sector.
