- Funding Details
- Cerego has raised over $18 million, the bulk of it from individuals. Employing a just-in-time financing strategy has enabled us to maintain a simple capital structure with only two classes of equity: common and Series A preferred. The result is that ownership is distributed and no individual or institution has control.
- Competitors
- No direct competitors offer our unique combination of services. Secondary competitors include LiveMocha (exclusively language learning) and SuperMemo (memory).
- Product Description
- Combining cognitive and neuroscience with the social and collaborative nature of the web, Cerego empowers people to learn faster, remember longer, and manage their memory for a lifetime. Powered by personalized, adaptive learning algorithms that accelerate knowledge acquisition, www.iknow.co.jp is an open, extensible platform that enables users to re-mix the web for learning. Users can collaborate to create and share various types of content, and then gather together to learn from and with each other.
- Market Opportunity
