BullhoundCapital leads Lingokids’ $120M round to expand its position as the #1 interactive app for kids

Lingokids was created to address a gap in the children’s learning app market: offering interactive, personalized play and educational experiences instead of passive screen time. Its scientifically validated Playlearning™ approach covers math, literacy, science, and social-emotional learning (SEL), designed to ignite curiosity and imagination in every session.

Ranked the #1 interactive app for kids in downloads across iOS and Android, it has become the trusted destination for kids’ learning and play, combining entertainment, education and innovation to keep children engaged. The company has partnered with leading institutions such as NASA, Stanford scientists, and the World Literacy Foundation to build educational content, while also featuring exclusive collaborations with iconic brands like Pocoyo and Blippi.

The round, which combines equity and go-to-market debt investment, included participation from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund, Nextalia Ventures, and other existing investors. This substantial financing will accelerate Lingokids’ expansion of engaging, educational, and guilt-free content for kids, while unlocking the power of AI to dramatically increase the speed and variety of content production.

As part of its growth plan, Lingokids will integrate more beloved third-party brands and characters into its trusted Playlearning™ universe, elevating it into the ultimate digital destination for kids. By scaling and diversifying its content pipeline, Lingokids will deliver increasingly personalized, high-quality learning journeys designed to engage and inspire children worldwide.

“This marks a new era for Lingokids, as we accelerate our mission to pioneer a new way of learning by evolving from a single-IP app into a multi-IP platform,” said Cristóbal Viedma, CEO and founder of Lingokids. “With this funding, we can deliver more personalized, diverse, and high-quality content for kids everywhere, all in a safe environment parents can trust. Gen AI will enable us to scale this vision faster, while every curriculum remains designed and guided by parents and educators.”

“Lingokids stands out among the sea of content resources for children today, providing the only guilt-free screen time in a safe yet entertaining environment,” said Hugh Campbell, Co-founder and Partner at BullhoundCapital. “As supporters of Lingokids’ mission, our continued investment will help the company scale its global platform with engaging and interactive content that kids love and parents trust.”

To further shape the company’s growth, Hugh Campbell has joined the Lingokids Board of Directors.
