Edwin is virtual English tutor - an AI-powered service for learning…
It combines the latest adaptive learning and Natural Language Understanding technology with pedagogical content as well as on-demand human instructors to offer its students affordable, personalized, 1:1 learning. Based in San Francisco, the company was funded by General Catalyst, Y Combinator, Google Assistant Investments Program, and several other investors. Over 800 thousand students have improved their English with Edwin. In early 2020 Edwin merged with MyBuddy.ai. The resulting company kept the name “Buddy.ai”. Headquartered in San Francisco, it focuses on building a virtual English conversation partner for over 500 million children around the globe who are trying to learn English, but can't reach fluency because they lack genuine practice speaking the language. The company doubled down on its mobile app Buddy, the voice-based English tutor for kids, organically combining solutions developed by Buddy.ai and Edwin.
Active Founders
Dmitry Stavisky, CEO
I've built two unicorns as a member of their founding teams and led teams at companies like Edwin/Buddy.ai (YC W18), Evernote, Lingualeo, and SightPath/Cisco. Earlier - I wrote lots of code for several Boston-based startups, built numerical climate models, and did field studies of Arctic and mountain glacial climates. With three exits, two CEO postings, and multiple pivots, I bring a wealth of experience. Happy to connect & explore how I can help. More at https://www.linkedin.com/in/dstavisky
