3 Hottest Tech Startups To Watch In The LearnTech Space

LearnTech will take off in 2021. These are the companies to watch. GETTY

While you may be familiar with MarTech (the blending of marketing and technology), AdTech (the tools that help agencies and brands target, deliver, and analyze their advertising efforts), and FinTech (technology used to improve activities in finance), the rise and buzz around LearnTech is fairly new. Like its counterparts, it elevates an industry with technology. Last year greatly accelerated digital transformation and much of it changed the landscape. We saw this across the board but perhaps no place more than with education and learning. Beyond the Zoom usage for formal schooling, I believe 2021 will be poised to be the year where learning and education in all its forms will take off.

Here is who I (and other keen investors and users) have their eye on in the LearnTech space. 

Lingopie

While streaming platforms like HBO Max and Disney+ struggle with retention, one hot tech start-up in the learning space has them all beat with their edutainment. It is a name you are sure to hear more of in the coming years – Lingopie. When you ask many ESL learners  how they learned English, they will say from watching American TV shows and movies.

Lingopie adds a language-learning element to already binge-worthy content, contrary to other language-learning platforms. Specifically, it harnesses the power of story-driven TV and film content to provide people all over the world a game-changing method to learn other languages- whether it’s to make themselves more hirable or to accomplish a life-long goal. Through streaming video, users can watch thousands of shows, movies, telenovelas, comedies and more. Interactive subtitles accompany each program, so viewers can click on any word to view a translation. Then, users can test their own knowledge with custom digital flashcards.
