Verbatica, a UAE-based educational technology platform, has raised $700,000 in angel investments to revamp its language learning platform. With this funding, the company plans to enter the Middle East and North African markets and work through the roadmap leading up to a fundraising event scheduled for November 2024.
Nikita Savilov and Nikolay Morozov founded Verbatica, and the platform’s standout feature is its application of the LQ model. Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Cultural Features are among the LQ’s models. The feature that is notably innovative in this system is the emphasis on cultural immersion through books, films, habits, and historical context—this provides a comprehensive understanding of the framework in which the language is set. It offers flexible learning options for either self, teacher-led study or switching between the two modes. All learning materials are fitted into one platform: dictionaries and flashcards, making the learning process coherent.
Verbatica’s launch in the UAE is significant. The country has large levels of migration, and the population is diversified. Moving ahead, the startup achieves its targeted entry into Indonesia before expanding into other parts of Asia. Its aggressive growth strategy demonstrates its founders’ seriousness about meeting global language learning demands.
Verbatica plans to begin demo testing of its platform on August 15, with a complete launch scheduled for the end of August, shortly before the start of the school year. The scheduling is intended to pique the interest of students and professionals preparing for the new school year.
With its innovative approach to language education, strong market strategy, and clear expansion plans, Verbatica is poised to impact the language learning sector significantly. The recent angel investment is crucial to achieving its goals and advancing its mission of improving language proficiency through cultural immersion and advanced technology.
