General Assembly, a startup school founded by Brad Hargreaves, Jake Schwartz, Adam Pritzker and Matt Brimer early last year, has raised a $9.8 million Series B round of financing.
Investors include Zappos' Tony Hsieh, who invested through Vegas TechFund, John Fisher, Mousse Partners, and previous investors Maveron, Bezos Expeditions, Tom Vander Ark, Alexis Ohanian, Hosain Rahman and Alex Asseily.
Part of the money will be put towards opening new General Assembly campuses. The school will open its doors in Las Vegas in 2013. GA will also use its Series B to increase its offline and online course offerings.
22,000 people have taken General Assembly courses. It's also expanded to thirteen locations and multiple continents, including Europe and Australia. It has raised more than $14 million to date.
