Career Development Platform Upkey Closes $2.6 MM Seed Round, Signs Perdue and SNHU

The Chicago startup Upkey announced on Febuary 2 that it had secured a seed funding round worth $2.6 million. The company contracts with companies and institutions to provide their members with career development resources and training. Along with the funding news, Upkey also took the opportunity to say it had signed three significant clients: Purdue University, Southern New Hampshire University, and The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America.

Upkey has demonstrated its ability to do what many other career development providers cannot: gain usage among first-generation learners and students of color. The company also attracted attention last year with recognition as one of LinkedIn’s top startups.

In addition to the funding and new clients, Upkey also unveiled a new user dashboard today that allows learners to track their career progress.
