Yondemy operates "Yondemy," a subscription web-app that combines an AI tutor, gamified lessons and personalized book recommendations to get children reading regularly. The company also runs a parent-facing LINE consultation service, a podcast and a free parent community to deepen at-home reading practices. Founded in April 2020 and headquartered in Tokyo, Yondemy reports that students who remain enrolled for three months read on average more than five books per week. The team is small (3 executives/employees, 29 student interns and 2 part-time contributors) and is recruiting BizDev, engineers, designers and senior operators to scale. Yondemy plans to strengthen UX, develop essay/ composition up-sell features, build new products and expand alliances—particularly with publishers—to broaden family touchpoints.
