Founders and funding
TechCrunch’s launch story names Nir Zicherman and Michael Mignano, who previously built Anchor and sold it to Spotify, and who left Spotify in October 2023. The launch date in that story is 10 Sep 2025, with nine course formats.
On 10 Dec 2025 TechCrunch reported a $16 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Eniac, Haystack, Offline, and Factorial, plus angels including Adam D’Angelo, Garry Tan, Lenny Rachitsky, Mati Staniszewski, Mikey Shulman, Jared Hecht, and M.G. Siegler. A $4 million seed had closed a year earlier. The company’s own “all new Oboe” post the same day matches the round. The September 2025 launch report described five full-time staff. A current headcount and valuation are not published.
Where they say they work, and hiring
The FAQ says the product is made by a small team based in NYC. No headcount is attached. The careers page is live and says “We aren’t currently hiring at this time.” It states a mission line, “teach one billion people one trillion things,” an equal-opportunity paragraph, and a link to X. The FAQ’s jobs address is [email protected]. The careers page is easy to miss: it is not in the public page sitemap.
