Edutech firm LingoAce raises $8.06m in Series A+ funding round

The funding round was led by Sequoia Capital India.

Singapore-based online language learning platform LingoAce has successfully raised $8.06m (US$6m) in its Series A+ funding round, led by Sequoia Capital India and returning investor Shunwei Capital.

The Series A+ round follows its Series A round of $9.40m (US$7m), led by Shunwei Capital in June this year.

“LingoAce’s uniquely personalised, interactive and effective curriculum distinguishes itself from other online learning platforms,” the edutech firm said in a media release. “Targeted at students aged four to 15 years, the platform enables its stringently selected professional Chinese teachers to deliver lesson plans real-time across physical borders in one-to-one and small group classes.”

The platform utilises multimedia, gamification features as well as AI-powered tools. To date, it has delivered lessons to over 100,000 students from 80 countries.

With more than 2,000 certified teachers and 420 employees globally, LingoAce is headquartered in Singapore and has offices in Beijing, Wuhan, and Los Angeles.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
