Laihua Online has raised $68.0M in a Series D round, a significant infusion for the Wuhan-based company that has quietly built itself into a go-to gateway for international students heading to China. The platform functions as a broad directory and service hub, covering everything from study program listings and language courses to translation, notarization, and even internship placement or medical tourism for those already on the ground.
The company’s original pitch was simple: bridge the gap between students looking to study abroad and the programs that want them. With this new capital, Laihua is positioned to deepen that role, though specifics on how the money will be deployed were not disclosed. The round’s size, however, signals growing investor confidence in the cross-border education market, particularly as China continues to attract a steady flow of degree-seeking and short-term students.
