Codeyoung – Innovative Learning Platform for Kids Secures $5 Million Funding

Codeyoung, the premier learning platform for children in K-12 education, has successfully secured $5 million in a Series A funding round, co-led by 12 Flags Group and Enzia Ventures. This funding round also signifies an exit for early investors. Based in Bengaluru, the company had previously garnered $1.86 million in a seed funding round from Guild Capital and other firms.

The newly acquired funds will be invested to enhance Codeyoung’s international market presence, develop AI-enhanced personalisation tools, and introduce new educational categories, as revealed in a recent press statement.

Company Origins and Mission

Established in 2020 by Shailendra Dhakad and Rupika Taneja, Codeyoung offers live, one-on-one online classes for children aged 5 to 17. The platform provides a diverse range of subjects, including Coding, Mathematics, English, Science, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and SAT Preparation.
