The Inspiring Story of Squid Academy
Incorporated on July 29, 2022, in the UK, Squid Academy was founded with a vision to bridge the gap in esports education.

Our story so far
The Beginning
Early Success and Growth
Strategic Shift and Expansion
Early 2024 marked a turning point for Squid Academy as we secured angel investment. This funding allowed us to transition from a B2C to a B2B model, enabling us to develop our proprietary Learning Management System (LMS) and supporting technologies. Our vision expanded to become a one-stop-shop for esports education globally, incorporating tournament platforms, AI teacher support and player coaching systems, and more.
Continued Success
In May 2024, we incorporated Squid Esports in Thailand, and successfully launched our programs in Thai schools. This regional expansion has reinforced our commitment to providing top-tier esports education worldwide.
