<p><strong>Company history:</strong><br />
Back in 2013, the founders of LessonsGoWhere (LGW) realised that lesson seekers were unaware of more than 80% of class providers who have no online presence in Singapore. Furthermore, enrolling for a class involves unreliable phone bookings or inconvenient physical visits at venue. It was also tough to enrol for lessons confidently due to the lack of an established system for rating and reviewing lesson providers. Today, you can buy almost anything online; a plane ticket, a computer and even an insurance policy. Why not a class?</p>
<p>The founders then set out to be the top e-commerce platform aggregating all possible courses offered in Singapore. The intent is to create an online marketplace to find, book and review in-person classes, helping people find classes by listing classes online, save time with online bookings and book classes confidently with social ratings and reviews. The result is a lifelong learning ecosystem that surpasses all other competitors in Singapore in terms of ease of booking and selection of classes.</p>
<p>Investment: The company has received investments from SPRING Singapore and National University of Singapore</p>
