Growth Road, the leading platform for self-knowledge, critical thinking, and AI-driven, scientifically rigorous career guidance for schools, has announced the closing of a €1,000,000 capital increase. The round, finalized in August 2025, was oversubscribed and included participation from Archipelago Next VC, Dozen Investments, and a group of business angels specialized in the EdTech sector.
This capital injection follows exponential growth that has seen Growth Road multiply its key metrics ninefold over the past year, now surpassing 10,000 active users across five countries (Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia).
Acceleration in LATAM and a commitment to validated AI: a strategic leap on two fronts
The funds raised will drive two core pillars of Growth Road’s growth plan:
1. International expansion and market penetration.The company will accelerate its rollout across Latin America, strengthening its territorial presence and establishing new strategic partnerships with high-impact educational networks. The objective is ambitious and clear: to consolidate its position as the number one career guidance solution in the Spanish-speaking world.
2. Technological leadership and investment in R&D.A significant portion of the funds will be allocated to taking the technology to the “next level”: new features for teachers and students, improvements to the overall experience, and the continuous evolution of its AI models to make them faster, more accurate, and more customizable—while consistently maintaining the highest standards of psychometric validity.
Juan Ignacio Rossi, CEO and co-founder of Growth Road, highlights the impact of the capital increase:
“This operation allows us to accelerate our mission: ensuring that no student ever makes important decisions without a true process of self-knowledge. We are building the most advanced career guidance platform in the Spanish-speaking world, and this new momentum brings us even closer to that future.”
A Differentiation Built on Science and Scale
Founded in 2022 with a clear objective, Growth Road addresses a structural problem in the education system: the lack of capacity to provide personalized and continuous career guidance to every student. The company targets an underserved market opportunity, where counselor-to-student ratios exceed 600:1 and 79% of upper secondary students do not know which degree to pursue, according to recent studies in Spain.
The platform fills this gap by combining:
● Psychometrically validated Artificial Intelligence, a milestone that positions it as a unique differentiator in global EdTech.
● Scientific rigor and human guidance.
● A structured six-year process (from ages 12 to 18) focused on self-knowledge and critical thinking.
In just 14 months, the startup has secured key partnerships with educational groups such as Cognita Group, Globeducate, and Salesians, demonstrating the scalability of its model.
Immediate Outlook: Focus on Growth and Talent
The capital increase will enable Growth Road to accelerate the hiring of strategic profiles to take its technology to the next level and reach many more young people. The company will strengthen its Business Development and Expansion teams to increase its presence in schools across the region, and will add AI-specialized engineers and PhDs in psychology to scale the product, deepen scientific validation, and enhance the quality of the experience delivered to students.
Growth Road was founded with the vision of becoming the leading global platform for self-knowledge and career guidance for schools, delivering a dynamic, rigorous, modern, and transformative experience to millions of young people worldwide.
