Lingo, a Springfield, MO-based edtech company, raised $2.25M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Pinnacle Private Ventures with participation from 1863 Ventures, Sequoia Capital via the Scout program, and Dr. Joy Johnson.
The company intends to use the funds to expand adoption of its hands-on, project-based coding kits and curriculum, which include lessons for students aged 13 and up in fields such as artificial intelligence, space systems, and environmental monitoring.
Led by CEO and Founder Aisha Bowe, Lingo delivers hands-on, project-based learning that makes STEM fun and accessible. The lessons can be self-guided or teacher-led and build learners’ confidence through engaging real-world projects in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, environmental monitoring, and space systems.
LINGO has been implemented by industry leaders like General Dynamics Information Technology, Siemens Healthineers, and Leidos to help equip students for success in a rapidly evolving world.
