Nana Technologies, a free online vocational school Nana Academy and appliance repair marketplace, has raised $6 million in seed funding. Nana will use the funds to help address the massive shortage of skilled trade labor in the U.S. and up-skill some of the 30 million people who stand to lose their jobs because of tech automation.

The funding round is led by Shripriya Mahesh of Spero Ventures, with participation from Jeff Weiner's Next Play Ventures, Lachy Groom, Scott Belsky, Geoff Donaker of Burst Capital, and Michael Staton of Learn Capital, among others.

Nana is a free online vocational school for appliance repair that gives graduates their first job and then helps them build their career through an AI-powered marketplace platform. Founded in 2017, it is headquartered in San Francisco and operates in 12 markets across the U.S.
