LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lingokids has been named to the 2026 GSV 150, earning milestone recognition as one of the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills.
Using a proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150. For the first time, the list includes publicly listed companies—capturing all EdTech leaders demonstrating top-line growth and generating at least double-digit millions in annual revenue. Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.
“We are incredibly proud to join the GSV 150 alongside the most influential companies transforming digital learning,” said Cristobal Viedma, CEO of Lingokids. “This is an exciting moment for Lingokids as we continue to push the boundaries of edutainment. Our commitment remains simple: to be the most entertaining and engaging platform for the next generation of global citizens.”
“The fusion of AI and education is driving new learning experiences and enabling more engaging learning modalities in audio and video,” says Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. “This transformation is evident in the GSV 150 with the rise of innovative hyper-growers—companies at or above $50 million in ARR and growing their top line in the triple digits.”
