About Us
Our mission is to revolutionize language learning.
Learning a new language can be transformative, unlocking opportunities to explore diverse cultures, career paths, and communities. With two billion people worldwide striving to learn a language, the most effective method—personalized one-on-one tutoring—remains difficult to access at scale and has seen little innovation for decades. Speak is pioneering an AI-driven tutor that fits in your pocket, offering a conversation-first approach that enables learners to engage in dialogue, receive immediate feedback, and progress through thoughtfully crafted lessons. This leads to a comprehensive journey from novice to confident speaker across numerous languages.
Since our launch in South Korea in 2019, Speak has emerged as the leading language learning app, expanding our reach to learners across various markets and 15+ languages. As one of the foremost AI companies globally, we have secured over $150 million in venture funding from prominent investors including OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, and Khosla Ventures, with a diverse team distributed across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
