Ringle, a Seoul, South Korea-based English tutoring lesson provider, raised $18M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Must Asset Management with participation of One-Asset Management, Xoloninvest, and MoCA Ventures.
The company will utilize the funds to develop educational content, grow teams at its headquarters in Seoul, Korea and San Mateo, CA, and push for client expansion both globally.
Founded in 2015 by two Stanford MBA graduates, Ringle provides one-on-one video English lessons with native-speaking tutors from universities in English speaking countries.
