MingleLab, a South Korean startup operating the AI-powered comprehensive children’s education platform ‘Learns’, has secured seed funding from BonAngels Venture Partners and Seoul Techno Holdings. Learns addresses the fragmented nature of educational information by structuring data to enable parents to effectively design their children’s educational paths through a single integrated solution.

Learns provides AI-refined content essential to parents, including academy information, verified reviews, seminar schedules, educational policies, and experiential learning opportunities. It also facilitates rapid and trustworthy information exploration through an academy attendance verification system and location-based communities.

Traditionally, parents depended heavily on informal channels such as local parent forums and word-of-mouth networks to select educational institutions. Learns leverages advanced AI to overcome these inefficiencies, empowering parents to proactively manage their children’s educational journeys.

Beyond just academy searches, Learns has evolved into an educational operations tool that integrates real-time updates on education policies, event schedules, local activities, and recommended readings. It even assists parents in managing their personal schedules and educational content.

Recently, Learns launched a beta version of a verified community feature titled ‘Neighborhood Parents’, creating a reliable network for local parents to exchange meaningful insights in a non-face-to-face environment. The service is gaining popularity in key educational districts such as Seoul’s affluent Gangnam areas and Bundang, rapidly expanding its user base.

Additionally, MingleLlab provides ‘Learns Teachers’, a B2B SaaS service helping educational institutions manage their information, enhance parent exposure, and streamline operations. This dual B2C and B2B approach positions Learns as a central hub within the education information ecosystem.

CEO Park Ji-eun stated, “This funding marks a significant step toward innovatively addressing inefficiencies parents face in educational planning. Learns aims to become a comprehensive platform supporting parents throughout their children’s educational journeys, ensuring improved learning experiences without unnecessary trial and error.”
