Multiverse offers a bridge for youngsters without university degrees to work with Google and more; despite dad’s advocacy for education, he’s his ‘biggest fan’

Euan Blair, the illustrious son of the UK’s ex-prime minister Tony Blair, has been making headlines fast for the success of his edtech platform Multiverse – which in just a few months has put billions in his bank.

Keep in mind, Euan first made headlines in 2000 at age 16 when he had to publicly apologise after he was arrested for being “drunk and incapable” in London’s West End.

Now hailed by many as a millennial genius, Tony’s oldest son has set his eyes on helping young people achieve their career goals without degrees or university education. But how did the 38-year-old do it?

Here’s how Euan Blair used his connections, opportunities and experience to bring his ideas into life, make a billion dollars – and potentially change the job prospects of a generation without going into politics like his father.

A studious background

Billionaire business owners and CEOs often seem to have one thing in common – they are dropouts from schools that didn’t recognise their brilliance. But Euan Blair comes from a different flock. He has a bright educational background, graduating from the University of Bristol, where he studied ancient history, before completing his master’s degree in international relations at Yale.

After his university years, he worked as an intern in the US Congress before heading to Morgan Stanley’s graduate programme in 2008. Blair told The Guardian that he didn’t quite enjoy studying while growing up, but going to university and getting a proper education was seen as the only option for landing a great job.

He co-founded his current business platform Multiverse in 2016.
