By taking an interest in Lepaya, Mediahuis took an initial step in the fast-growing education technology market. The development of soft skills – personal attributes such as communication, instructive management, dealing with stress or effective team management – becoming increasingly important throughout a company’s growth process. Amsterdam-based Lepaya has specialised in this field and works with an international team of experts who manage the content of their training programmes. The company also has an in-house development team that develops its own software and applications. Mediahuis’s capital injection will enable Lepaya to accelerate its growth, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
Mediahuis Ventures has been a very supportive partner from day 1, challenging us where necessary but leaving full ownership to accelerate the business to the founding team.
