Since its launch, CoLearn claims to have amassed over 4.8 million users, with over 85 million questions asked to date. In 2021, the number of questions asked grew 5x with its AI-powered problem-solving platform.
CoLearn has a technology team operating out of India and UAE. The company is actively looking at expanding its team size and recruiting for data science, product, and engineering roles in these countries.
Abhay Saboo, Co-Founder & CEO of CoLearn, said: “CoLearn is not only helping students build a strong foundation in STEM subjects but also has an immediate impact, as over 80 per cent of our subscribed students have seen an improvement in their grades. With a consistent NPS (Net Promoter Score) of over 70 for our live classes and 90 per cent organic traffic of our AI-powered homework help feature, we are actively working towards changing the mindset around online tutoring with our offering that blends AI and interactivity.”
Before raising US$17 million, CoLearn raised US$10M in Series A funding from Alpha Wave Incubation, GSV Ventures and Sequoia Surge and AC Ventures.
