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.
Recognizing the lack of structured, unbiased education in this booming industry, we set out to provide internationally accredited programs that cover popular esports and supporting roles.
Mission
At Squid Academy, our mission is to expand the esports ecosystem by fostering the next generation of players, professionals, and enthusiasts. We aim to bring esports education into high schools, teaching not only the games but also the diverse roles within the esports industry. Through local gaming facilities, we provide access to training, teamwork, and competitions, creating a robust infrastructure for amateur esports talent. Our goal is to empower students and communities by offering opportunities to engage with esports in meaningful ways.
Vision
We envision a world where esports thrives through a deep and diverse talent pool, nurtured from the grassroots. Just as football has prospered in countries with widespread facilities and local clubs, we see a future where esports is accessible to all, with structured environments for players to grow, compete, and be scouted. By partnering with countries to build this foundation, we will shape an esports landscape that supports not only elite players but also an expansive community of fans, competitors, and industry professionals.
How we progressing
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.
