TeachMe.To is an innovative platform that connects individuals seeking to learn new skills with local instructors who can provide in-person lessons. Recently, the company announced that it has raised $3 million in seed-plus funding. This funding round was led by a company called Interplay, with contributions also coming from established investors such as Bling Capital and 1984 Ventures.
The funding boost will be instrumental in driving the growth of TeachMe.To’s already expanding marketplace, which currently boasts 5,000 active instructors and has served over 30,000 students. The platform has delivered nearly 100,000 lessons to date, showcasing its effectiveness in connecting learners with expert coaches.
The funding will not only help TeachMe.To grow its marketplace, it will also be utilized to enhance its technology and app development. This includes the integration of new artificial intelligence features designed to enhance the overall learning experience. These enhancements promise to make lessons even more engaging and tailored to individual needs.
In recent months, TeachMe.To has experienced impressive growth, particularly in the first half of 2025, when the number of completed lessons soared by 46 percent compared to the same period the previous year. This growth underscores the platform’s ability to attract and retain users by making it straightforward for anyone to find and book lessons in their local area with friendly and affordable coaches.

KEY QUOTES:
“We’re not an AI company. In fact, we’re in the business of facilitating human-to-human interaction. But we’ve fully embraced the benefits and efficiencies that AI has to offer our company. In addition to AI powering our app through personalized lesson plans, auto-generated analytics, predictive overviews, intuitive scheduling and even swing analysis tools – capabilities and insights that add incredible value to both our coaches and learners – it has also enabled us to scale our business without increasing our headcount. In part because of our adoption of AI, the business is approaching profitability earlier than anticipated, so we were able to keep the raise small and avoid unnecessary dilution.”
Tyler Maloney, Founder and CEO of TeachMe.To
“The business made too much sense for us not to get excited about it. If you need pet care, you go to Rover to find a walker, if you have a task or odd-job that you need done, there’s a marketplace or app for that, but what about if you want to learn a new sport or you want to finally learn to play the guitar? TeachMe.To not only makes it easy to find, browse and book a local lesson, their platform actually adds significant value to the learning and coaching experience. We’re excited to see the heights that Tyler and Nick can bring this company.”
