China-based music tutoring provider Finger has secured RMB100m ($14.4m) in a series B round backed by property management firm Greentown Service Group, China Money Network has reported.
Venture capital firm Vision Plus Capital and venture debt provider Silicon Valley Bank also took part in the deal.
Founded in 2015, Finger offers musical tuition courses and materials for children and adults covering more than 10 instruments including the guitar, piano, ukulele and drums.
The company uses an algorithm-powered tool called Finger Pro to tailor course materials to mature users and has created a virtual piano playing assistant for children aged four to 12 years old.
Finger will put the funding into expanding its digital and offline ecosystems in partnership with Greentown, having already opened physical teaching and research hubs in Beijing and New York.
Vision Plus Capital reportedly provided Finger with $5m of series A cash in 2016, after a $1.2m pre-series A round backed by K2 Ventures and Cambrian Venture Capital the previous year.
