Omniu

Holding company that buys and grows vertical-market education businesses, led by expert creators. After working with world-class educational creators (expert creators) and doing $20m+ in revenue - we are now structuring a private equity firm to acquire niche leaders and grow them.

We believe that (1) the future of education will be vertical education brands and (2) expert creators will have a lot to do with this future (as founders, ambassadors, course creators, etc).
