The Ukrainian-founded edtech startup Preply has opened an office in London, in the heart of the Shoreditch business district. This is another step of the company to expand its international presence, which complements the network of offices in Kyiv, Barcelona, and New York.
- Preply was founded in 2012 by Ukrainians Serhii Lukyanov, Dmytro Voloshyn, and Kyrylo Bigai. It develops an online language learning platform that connects teachers with students using a machine learning algorithm.
- The startup team consists of 500 employees of 60 different nationalities in 30 countries. In 2023, the startup opened its first office in the United States. Preply’s valuation at that time could be $500 million. In July last year, Preply received $70 million from Horizon Capital, an Ukraine-focused venture fund, Reach Capital, and Hoxton Ventures.
Our new London hub will enable us to foster closer connections, enhance collaboration, and tap into the city’s rich talent pool. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated teams for making this possible and for continuing to build the unique Preply culture we cherish,

The new London office will allow Preply to establish closer cooperation between teams, as well as take advantage of the city’s strong human resource potential.
