Headquartered in Tokyo, Cerego is the company behind iKnow!, a social learning platform currently focused on language learning.
iKnow! initially launched with a service focused on helping Japanese people learn English, attracting ~300,000 users in its first year. In November 2008, iKnow! expanded its offering to enable users from all over the world to create learning content in any language.
Cerego has developed learning algorithms based on research in the fields of cognitive science and neuroscience. These algorithms power iKnow! and are increasingly being exposed through their Open API.
The company’s long-term goal is to expand their offering to enable users to learn any kind of fact-based information faster, remember it longer, and manage their knowledge online.
