Edwin.aiCo-Founder and CEO

Jan. 2016 - Jan. 2020San Francisco Bay AreaEdwin (https://edwin.ai) was an AI-powered service for learning foreign languages. It was delivered on conversational (chatbots and voice assistants) platforms. Edwin combined the latest technology and effective pedagogical content with on-demand human instructors to offer its students affordable, personalized 1:1 learning. Our goal was to provide our students with better outcomes than they would see using existing methods, all at a fraction of the price. We started in July 2016; got funded by General Catalyst, Y Combinator (W2018), Google, and several other investors; launched the service in March 2017; built some pretty cool tech and products; and grew to over 840K registered users. In early 2020 Edwin merged with MyBuddy.ai. The resulting company kept the name “Buddy.ai” and doubled down on its mobile app Buddy, the voice-based English tutor for kids, organically combining solutions developed by Buddy.ai and Edwin. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/edwin-ai https://www.facebook.com/EnglishWithEdwin/
