Overview

Legends Of Learning is an educational game-based learning platform for K-12 students led by CEO Dr. Vadim Polikov and based in Washington, DC. The platform provides over 2,000 instructional and assessment video games that deliver curriculum-aligned content through play. Students learn curriculum-aligned material, track their own progress, and increase subject mastery and engagement. The company raised $5M in a Seed funding round and intends to use the proceeds to scale its sales, engineering, and game development teams. The product emphasizes curriculum alignment across its extensive game catalog. Legends of Learning provides educators with research-driven, curriculum-based games designed to create more engaging and productive classrooms. The company closed a $9M seed funding round; the backers were not disclosed. It plans to use the funds to expand operations with new hires and to reach new school grades and subjects. At launch the platform included 900 curriculum-based education games covering middle school earth and space science, life sciences, and physical science curricula. Those games were created by over 300 game studios and are based on academic research conducted in partnership with Vanderbilt University. The platform features short 5–25 minute games aligned to middle school science standards, an easy-to-use classroom deployment system, and a teacher dashboard for real-time comprehension monitoring, playlist creation, and assessment. Founders include Vadim Polikov, Larry Cynkin (CTO), Aryah Fradkin, Joshua Goldberg (CSO), Geoff Livingston (CMO), and Sandy Roskes (COO).
