Education-as-a-benefit platform connecting frontline workers with degree programs
Guild Education partners with Fortune 1000 employers like Walmart, Disney, and Target to offer their frontline workers fully funded education benefits ranging from English-language certificates to bachelor's and master's degrees. The company was last valued at $4.4 billion in a 2022 Series F, but growth has cooled materially as macro pressure hit employer benefits budgets, with revenue reported around $275M in 2024 and roughly 6% year-over-year growth.
