TEL AVIV, Israel, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Loora, the generative AI English language learning company, today emerged from stealth with $9.25M in seed funding from lead investor Emerge, with participation from Two Lanterns Venture Partners and Kaedan Capital, to further its mission of making English fluency attainable and accessible for the over one billion English learners around the world. Several angel investors also contributed to the round, including Zohar Gilon and Amit Gilon, as well as several founders from prominent technology companies Lightricks and ironSource.

Key Points:

Private tutors can be prohibitively expensive, have limited availability, and can't accommodate the conversational needs and interests of each individual.
Even as existing language learning solutions attempt to embrace generative AI, they are incorporating generic capabilities as add-on features with inherently limited utility for serious learners.
Yet, most people still lack access to affordable and impactful English learning solutions," said Roy Mor, CEO and Co-Founder of Loora.
"While generative AI has immense potential to help people practice their language skills, not all AI is created equal.
