Company Description:

Edtech startup Preply, which has built an online marketplace for finding and booking private tutors for a range of subjects, has closed a $1.3 million seed round. It supports booking of both in-person lessons in a chosen location and also remote tutoring, via a video chat.

Investors in Preply’s seed round include Arthur Kosten (ex-CMO at Booking.com), Polish VC RTAventures, and founder & CEO of DocPlanner, Mariusz Gralewski.

The team launched its tutoring marketplace back in April 2013, before going through the TechStars Berlin program.
