Sololearn offers a mobile-first platform that teaches coding through bite-sized, Duolingo-like lessons and an in-app compiler that enables coding on phones. The product emphasizes short, habit-forming engagements and a community of volunteer helpers and influencers who provide peer support. Its user base has grown to over 21 million people, with active users up 300% year-over-year and 200,000–300,000 new users joining each month. The platform serves both learners pursuing deep programming skills and nontechnical professionals seeking role-specific skills. Sololearn plans to use its recent funding to expand into more programming languages and to build learning tracks tailored to specific job categories. The company was founded and is led by Yeva Hyusyan and is based in Yerevan, Armenia. SoloLearn is a social platform that enables users to consume, create, and share short pieces of code-related content. It leverages thousands of user-generated content pieces to build personalized learning collections and experiences. The platform applies game mechanics, peer-to-peer competition, and community code reviews across learning tracks such as JavaScript, Swift, Python, C++, HTML/CSS and topics like machine learning, AI, algorithms, and data structures. Lessons and quizzes are designed to be completed in a few minutes on mobile devices. The company was co-founded by Yeva Hyusyan and Davit Kocharyan and is based in Yerevan, Armenia and San Francisco, CA. SoloLearn plans to use new funding to accelerate global growth and localization, scale its teams in Armenia and the US, and launch a service to help community members improve their career choices. SoloLearn is a mobile app that socializes code learning through interactive lessons, coding exercises, peer-to-peer challenges, and community Q&A. The product is aimed at millennials and students rather than hard‑core engineers, and improving users’ profiles can lead to job exposure. The company reports over two million profiled coders and more than one million coding activities daily. CEO Yeva Hyusyan describes the app as an enjoyable environment for continuous professional growth and building a trustworthy coder reputation. SoloLearn also notes notably high traffic from refugees using the app to learn to code. To support its social mobile learning mission, the startup raised a $1.2M seed round led by Learn Capital alongside several existing private backers.
