Medley raises $3.7M seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz

Medley, a platform for personal and professional growth, has announced their $3.7M funding round led by Connie Chan and Anne Lee Skates of Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Aglaé Ventures, Foundation Capital, artist Ciara Wilson, Away CEO and co-founder Jen Rubio, Peloton SVP, Head of Global Marketing & Communications Dara Treseder, and Sanyin Siang, the Executive Director of the Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics at Duke University, among other executives and entrepreneurs.

“Medley’s mission is to create more inclusive opportunities for growth and connection,” said Medley co-founder Jordan Taylor. “We’re excited to use this funding to grow our team and enhance our technology, enabling us to scale and create an even more robust experience for our members.”

“Professional and personal development and coaching is a large, increasingly digital space and one we’ve been watching for a while—even prior to Covid,” said Connie Chan, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. “Medley’s approach to helping its members grow in both work and life, particularly during this global moment of change and transition, resonated with us. As founders, Edith and Jordan bring a powerful mix of experiences and strong existing networks, which we believe make them uniquely qualified to succeed in the space.”

“Over the last year, we’ve been amazed by the new ways people have been willing to be present and engage online,” said Medley co-founder Edith Cooper. “With the help of our community and coaches, we’ve created safe spaces for meaningful connections and intentional growth, which are critical during this time of uncertainty and transition.”
