NovaKid is an online English-language education platform based in San Francisco, California.[1][2]

History

NovaKid was founded in 2017 by Maxim Azarov and Dmitry Malin as a platform that uses gamification and virtual reality to engage young learners.[3][4]

In 2018, NovaKid expanded internationally, becoming available in Turkey and Poland; by 2020, it had expanded to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.[3][4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, NovaKid saw user growth on its platform and raised $1.5 million in seed financing, followed by $4.25 million in Series A funding.[5] A year later, in 2021, it raised $35 million in Series B funding.[6][7]

In 2023, NovaKid reportedly became profitable.[6] The following year, it acquired Lingumi, a UK-based app for preschool English learners, and established NovaKid Junior, a division focused on AI-guided learning for children.[6]

Platform

NovaKid is an online learning platform that delivers English lessons via a virtual classroom.[7] It uses gamification techniques to maintain student engagement, tracks student progress through a parent dashboard, and provides interactive educational content, including exercises, quizzes, and virtual reality tours of landmarks.[3] Its curriculum combines live lessons with vocabulary and grammar exercises.[7]

As of 2024, NovaKid had over 70,000 active users.[6]
