BookClub​, a platform created to scale author-led book clubs, demonstrates that even in the midst of a pandemic, there’s funding to be had with the announcement of their $6 million seed round. The confluence of shelter-in-place, political unrest, and shifting educational norms have all driven an increased interest in finding new ways of connecting people to learn and discuss. BookClub is the first platform designed to connect readers directly with the author to learn together and inspire life-changing conversation.
