World University LLC, an Australia-based education technology company founded by Kevin Ryall, has joined the LaunchUp program by FasterCapital to accelerate the development and expansion of its innovative learning platform. The company is currently raising $9M to support its mission of reshaping global access to higher education.

World University LLC addresses the critical challenges posed by traditional higher education models—namely, high costs, inflexibility, and the misalignment with modern workforce needs. By offering digitally delivered, career-focused programs through a global network of accredited academic partners, the company empowers both young learners and working professionals with affordable and fast-tracked educational pathways.

The LaunchUp program, backed by FasterCapital, will provide World University LLC with strategic guidance, technical expertise, and investor-matching support, enabling the company to scale its impact and connect with key stakeholders worldwide.

Hesham Zreik, CEO of FasterCapital, commented:
"We are excited to welcome World University LLC into the LaunchUp program. Their vision aligns with the global need to rethink higher education, making it more accessible, flexible, and relevant. We look forward to helping them scale and realize their potential."

He said: “World University is not only leveraging digital transformation in education—it is building a bridge between academic learning and career readiness. That’s the kind of innovation we are proud to support.”

Kevin Ryall, Founder of World University LLC, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “Joining the LaunchUp program is a significant milestone for us. We’re grateful to FasterCapital for recognizing the value of our vision. With their support, we are confident in our ability to raise the necessary funding and deliver accessible, outcome-driven education to learners around the world.”

As World University LLC advances through the LaunchUp program, the $9M fundraising effort will be key to expanding its technological infrastructure, securing new academic partnerships, and reaching a broader international student base.
