Aceable Secures $4M Series A; Expands Mobile Education Platform in New Verticals and Adds Popular Drivers Ed App to Four More States

Co-led by Silverton Partners and Floodgate, financing will help the
Austin-based startup build a holistic mobile educational platform, while
launching drivers ed app in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Indiana

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aceable,
creators of the first state-approved drivers education app, today
announced a $4M Series A funding round, co-led by existing investors Silverton
Partners and Floodgate.
The funds will be used to expand the company into new industries that
require professional certifications, while continuing to grow their
successful drivers ed app state-by-state.

“The rapid adoption of our drivers ed app proves that demand exists for
not only engaging but also cutting edge mobile learning experiences,”
said Blake Garrett, Founder and CEO, Aceable. “Astoundingly, 1 in 3 jobs
in the United States require some form of professional certification;
however, despite that opportunity, the number one complaint we hear from
professionals in the fields we’re exploring is that course content is
boring at best – and irrelevant at worst. We know we can fix both of
these problems the same way we did with driving.”

In less than two years, Aceable has captured more than 35 percent market
share for all of the online drivers ed courses in Texas and California.
The funding will allow the company to continue adding its drivers ed app
to new markets, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Indiana.
Simultaneously, they will be able to expand into new verticals, such as
real estate, corporate HR, nursing and food safety – all areas where
certifications are required.

“The future of professional education is in mobile learning. Aceable’s
outstanding app store reviews and user growth prove their product is
best-in-class, making them well poised to continue tremendous growth
into new fields,” said Morgan Flager of Silverton Partners. “It’s rare
to see a company reach profitability with such explosive growth.”

Aceable’s drivers ed app currently ranks as one of the highest grossing
education apps in the App Store and Google Play. The company currently
touts more than 300,000 users in Texas, California, Florida, Ohio and
Illinois, and maintains a 98 percent pass rate for the course.

“It’s clear that our approach to learning works,” said Garrett. “As we
continue to push the envelope on the effectiveness of mobile learning,
we expect to see that same level of success.”

Additional investors include current shareholders NextGen Angels,
Capital Factory, as well as pro-rata investors and optional strategic
investments.
