London-based digital education platform FutureLearn has landed 50 million pounds ($66 million) in equity financing.

FutureLearn secured the proceeds from Australian employment marketplace Seek Group.

As part of the financing, Seek Group has acquired a 50 percent stake in FutureLearn, with the remaining stake in the platform owned by Open University.

FutureLearn noted that this investment enables the company to focus on developing more courses and qualifications that both learners and employers will value.
