FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT:
Quotanda Founder Grant Taylor Scales Global Student Financing Across 16 Countries
Since joining StartEd, Quotanda has:
Supported 7,300+ students across 16 countries
Partnered with universities, tech bootcamps, and education providers globally
Closed a €51M student loan guarantee with the European Investment Fund (EIF)
Reached $500K+ in annual revenue
Expanded financing programs across international markets
Grant first joined StartEd in 2019, before COVID reshaped global education. At the time, Quotanda focused on tech bootcamps with strong job placement rates. As the pandemic moved learning online, tech bootcamps adapted quickly, and Quotanda scaled its impact – financing thousands more students and growing revenue significantly.
Reflecting on StartEd’s role, Grant shared:
“The biggest value was the network – meeting investors and entrepreneurs, gaining insight into how they think, and using that perspective to refine our ideas and approach. Even without direct investment, those connections helped shape how we grew.”
We’re proud to support founders like Grant who are building scalable, mission-driven solutions that expand access to education worldwide.
Congratulations to Grant and the entire Quotanda team on these incredible milestones.🌍🙌
