Edtech startup Beep has raised $850,000 (approximately Rs 7 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round backed by Knowhere Ventures LLC, Pacific Global Solutions Limited, and LeadAngels FLV. The round also saw participation from angel investors Vipul Prakash, founder of wowJobs, and Sandeep Johri, former CEO of Checkmarx. With this, Beep’s total funding to date has reached $1.5 million, reflecting growing investor interest in AI-driven career platforms for emerging talent.
Expansion Plans and Capital Deployment
The fresh capital will be used to scale Beep’s user base, onboard 150 additional colleges over the next nine months, and expand its industry aligned career programs. The company is focused on strengthening its presence across tier II and tier III cities, where access to structured career guidance and placement opportunities remains limited.
Platform and Product Ecosystem
Founded in 2021 by Saurabh Mangrulkar, Rakhi Pal, and Yogesh Nogia, Beep is building an AI-powered career platform designed to support students and early-career professionals. The platform integrates mentorship, career discovery, structured learning, and hiring workflows into a unified ecosystem. Its offerings include a mentorship and career app, industry-focused upskilling programs, UniBeep for institutional placement management, and BeepHire.ai, which enables fresher hiring through AI-driven matching tools.
Growth, Adoption, and Market Opportunity
Beep currently runs over 28 live programs across certification, design, and internship tracks. The startup claims to have enabled more than 30,000 placements, internships, and gig opportunities. It reports a user base of over 6.5 million, partnerships with 1,500 colleges, and collaborations with more than 7,800 hiring companies. As demand grows for employability-focused platforms beyond metro cities, Beep aims to become a key infrastructure layer connecting education and employment.
