All Seas Capital invests in Reducate EdTech Group to propel growth across Europe
All Seas Capital, a private capital fund in Europe, has announced its investment in Reducate EdTech Group, an online platform for professional education based in the Netherlands and Denmark.
The minority investment is part of All Seas Capital's strategy to support and expand companies with a significant market presence and readiness for further growth.
Reducate has integrated two major educational companies, E-WISE and Blueprint Learning, founded in 1999 and 2014. The company offers a range of e-learning courses to over 175,000 professionals across Europe, spanning more than 40 professions through its 11 brands.
With this new funding, Reducate aims to extend its influence in the European market by seeking additional collaborations with EdTech entrepreneurs and businesses within the eCPE market. As part of the agreement, Marc Ciancimino and Charlie Budenberg from All Seas Capital will join Reducate’s Supervisory Board to assist in steering the company’s growth strategies.
Henk Makaske, CEO of Reducate, remarked on the collaboration:
“As we join forces with All Seas Capital, we are not just starting a new chapter in our story—we are setting the course for European expansion. This partnership elevates our growth ambition, with the benefit of All Seas Capital’s investment and proven expertise, strengthening our capacity to deliver superior e-learning experiences and emphasize our leadership in continuing professional education across Europe.”
Charlie Budenberg, Director at All Seas Capital, noted the strategic nature of their investment:
“Reducate’s highly capable team has established a strong business with significant growth potential in a highly fragmented market. Our capital and expertise provide management with a catalyst to accelerate their development plans in line with their clear strategy, and we look forward to supporting them on this journey.”
Marc Ciancimino, Co-Founder of All Seas Capital, supported the investment:
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Reducate, marking our first investment in the Netherlands and in the attractive education and training sector. All Seas Capital’s flexible, non-control capital aligns perfectly with Reducate’s growth objectives, and we are excited to help Reducate to execute on their ambitious growth plans.”
The deal was supported by various advisory services, including corporate finance by Lincoln International, legal advisement by De Brauw Blackstone Westbrook, commercial diligence by Strategy&, and financial and tax consultancy by Deloitte.
