- Trala announced it raised $8 million. These are the details.
Trala – an innovative online music school – announced it has closed $8 million in a Series A funding round led by Seven Seven Six with participation from Lachy Groom Fund, Altman Capital, Next Play Ventures, and Concrete Rose Ventures. And this latest funding round brings Trala’s total funding to $15 million, supporting its mission to make world-class music education accessible to every single person on Earth.
Trala’s unique platform combines cutting-edge technology that listens to users play their instruments and provides instant feedback with personalized 1-on-1 lessons from diverse and talented teachers. And by doing so, Trala aims to create opportunities for a new generation of musicians who may not have had access to music education otherwise.
The online music school has already attracted a group of 1,000 students, including truck drivers, politicians, firefighters, grandmothers, surgeons, construction workers, and more. And the company welcomes everyone and eagerly anticipates its growing community.
Last year, Trala experienced 14X growth and added 30 new music teachers to its roster. And the new funding will allow Trala to continue expanding its core offering for learning the violin while also exploring additional instrument options. Plus the company anticipates creating up to 300 new jobs for musicians over the next 2 years, further bolstering its vibrant community of music teachers and learners.
KEY QUOTES:
“By making great music education so widely accessible, especially to those who haven’t typically had access to it before, Trala is going to create a new generation of musicians from all walks of life.”
- Cristina Georgoulakis, Partner at Seven Seven Six
“I didn’t get far in my childhood piano or saxophone lessons, but that’s probably because I didn’t have Trala. Now I’m 39 and hungry to finally learn to play an instrument and excited that I have Trala to help me.”
- Alexis Ohanian, Founder of Seven Seven Six, also expressed his enthusiasm for Trala
