EWA is a language-learning app that teaches users through clips, memes and passages from movies, TV shows, books and games rather than traditional classroom methods. Users sign up and interact with a chatbot to describe their learning style and preferred content, which directs them to lessons based on real-world material. The product emphasizes pronunciation, idioms and conversational usage by immersing learners in familiar context. Launched in 2018 by Max Korneev, Stepan Nikitin, Anton Aleshkevich and Stas Morozov, EWA offers courses in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. The app has amassed more than 51 million downloads and 3.5 million monthly active users. It reports an annual run rate of $32.4 million and was fully bootstrapped prior to this raise. The new capital will be used to expand its product offerings.
