Mission and Values

edit

Lingoda's mission is to build bridges through language education and overcome cultural differences worldwide. The company promotes an inclusive world and sees language as the first step in addressing global challenges. Lingoda focuses on the quality of a traditional language school and combines it with the flexibility of online learning to provide opportunities for people with very little time and a busy schedule to learn languages[2][5].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

edit

Lingoda is engaged in several initiatives to counteract the labor shortage in Germany and integrate international talents. The "Speak & Code Academy" in cooperation with Kiron and LeWagon is a 12-month full-time course that combines programming and language learning to qualify foreign professionals in tech jobs[2][4].

Through the "Match Talent" initiative, Lingoda works to collaboratively attract, qualify, and integrate international talents into society and the economy. This supports the tackling of major challenges such as climate change, demographic change, and digitalization[2].

Growth and Funding

edit

Since its founding, Lingoda has grown significantly, particularly benefiting from the effects of the Corona crisis, with an increase in customer numbers of nearly 200 percent in the past year. The company has raised over $83 million in venture capital, including a funding round of $68 million led by Summit Partners and other investors[1][2][4].

With this capital, further growth is being accelerated, new markets are being opened, and online teaching is being expanded. Lingoda has developed into one of the world's leading online language schools and is focusing on vertical spin-offs and special segment initiatives to further promote its growth.
