Novakid

Novakid is a fully remote EdTech company specialising in online English language education for children aged 2 to 14. A US company, with a head office in London, this Series B startup has raised $41.5 million in funding from leading global investors.

With a mission to equip young learners for success in a globalised world, Novakid delivers personalised, immersive English learning experiences that are effective, engaging, and accessible to families worldwide.

The company’s full-immersion methodology combines one-on-one live lessons with certified native or near-native English-speaking teachers, interactive group speaking practice, gamified digital content, and AI-driven progress tracking. Novakid’s expert-designed curriculum is aligned with CEFR standards and fosters both language fluency and cognitive development through storytelling, conversation, and age-appropriate activities.

In September 2024, Novakid acquired Lingumi, a UK-based EFL app that offers AI-assisted, interactive English lessons for early learners. This acquisition strengthens Novakid Junior, a free, self-paced English learning app for young children, by integrating Lingumi’s AI capabilities with Novakid’s live teaching and gamified learning tools. The result is a comprehensive, accessible language environment that widens access to high-quality English instruction from as early as two years old.
