Edfund : Why EduFund Is Emerging as a Leader in Education Financing

As an angel investor closely observing India’s affectable edtech-infused fintech sector, I’m highly encouraged by EduFund’s recent $6 million Series A raise led by Cercano Management and MassMutual Ventures. This capital injection brings its total raised to $12 million, signaling strong confidence in its growth path and mission.

What stands out is how EduFund plans to deploy these funds: enhancing its AI-driven advisory engine to deliver personalized education financing plans, expanding its loan offerings with a sharpened focus on undergraduate segments, and extending its reach into Tier II and Tier III cities. These cities represent critical, often overlooked markets where access to intelligent financial planning tools remains.

EduFund’s integrated platform offers a full-stack solution for parents who need financial clarity—not just for schooling, but for overseas studies as well. It combines savings and loan products with visa assistance, remittance services, and expert counseling under a unified interface. The platform’s ecosystem—comprising over 250,000 families, more than 40 asset managers, and 15+ lending partners—underscores its real traction and the breadth of its financial network.

From where I stand, EduFund is positioning itself to become the education-finance analog of Zerodha, uniquely focused on a single vertical but delivering deep value via tech-first, accessible services. Their ability to personalize planning at scale, broaden product access, and expand geographically in one cohesive strategic push makes it a prime candidate for sustained growth—and a smart investment for those bullish on transformative edtech-driven fintech solutions.
