Hellocafe was a mobile application that connected individuals for on-demand, in-person language practice. The platform, founded in 2014 by Aaron Myung and Simon Shin, allowed users to find and book personal language tutors for sessions at locations like cafes or homes. Users could review tutor profiles, communicate through the app, schedule meetings, and provide ratings after the session. The business model was based on a monthly subscription service.
Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Hellocafe secured funding from institutional investors, including Baroda Ventures, BAM Ventures, and Strong Ventures. The company operated in the competitive EdTech and mobile application market. According to industry data, Hellocafe is no longer in business.
