Emile Learning raised USD 3 million in seed funding in a round led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from SoftBank Opportunity Fund, Uber Alum Syndicate, Owl Ventures, John Thornton (former president, Goldman Sachs), Steven Galanis (founder, Cameo), and Ankur Nagpal (founder, Teachable).
Founded in 2020 by Felix Ruano, Michael Vilardo, and Jon Quiros, Emile Learning provides a one-on-one blended learning platform that offers classes for credit, test prep, and supplementary classes, allowing families to organize their own curriculum. It also offers a full-time, virtual middle and high school. Initially helping students prepare for advanced placement (AP) exams, the company now offers accredited high school classes as well. The company charges an annual fee ranging from USD 100-USD 200 to use its platform but plans to tap into the government funding that flows into high schools. As of May 2021, Emile Learning hosts more than 20 classes on its platform and plans to increase this to 30 by September. The company claims that more than 50,000 students have used its platform to date.
