Bibli

U is an award-winning education company that provides Day 1 access to affordable course materials, making learning more equitable and effective, in addition to providing campus store management. We partner with over 3,000 educational publishers, including Pearson, Oxford University Press, and Wiley, to offer a wide range of high-quality content to students. Our platform provides rich engagement data to academics and allows students to find information faster.

We have disrupted the textbook industry by reducing the cost of education significantly and increasing publisher sales.

Founded in late-2015, we are a rapidly growing company transforming the way students and educators access and interact with learning materials. Our revenue has grown rapidly, with 150% YoY growth in the last three years. Last year, we raised $21m in a Series B funding round led by Nesta Impact Investments, with participation from Guinness Asset Management, Stonehage Fleming, and Oxford Sciences Enterprises.

In late 2023, we acquired Texas Book Company (now ‘Bibli

U Campus’) in order to deliver a more complete solution of products and services to higher ed students, faculty and administrators across the US! Since the addition of Bibli

U Campus, we have seen a dramatic increase in customers due to a much improved product market fit. We are very excited about our growth and are expanding the team to meet our new market potential!

We are a diverse and inclusive team of professionals who are passionate about education and technology. Our culture is fast-paced, innovative, and dynamic, and we are always looking for talented individuals to join our team. If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding career in edtech and campus store management, Bibli

U is the perfect place for you. Join us and help revolutionize the way students and educators access and interact with learning materials!
