Springpod, a Boston-based startup, has raised £2m in a strategic investment led by American Student Assistance (ASA) to fuel its U.S. expansion. Founded by Sam Hyams, the company provides virtual work-based learning experiences aimed at helping students prepare for future careers. Targeting equitable access, Springpod partners with universities and leading employers, offering free programs used by over 700,000 students, with a significant focus on underserved demographics.
With a strong client network including Airbus, Amazon, Siemens, and Meta, Springpod has shown robust growth, having shifted its legal domicile to the U.S. The new funding will support the rollout of a 3D virtual learning environment for U.S. students, enhancing career readiness and expanding local partnerships. ASA's backing will drive Springpod's mission to scale these solutions, addressing the gap in work-based learning in American education.
