History
[edit | edit source]Language Perfect was the forerunner of EP. It was a vocabulary revision tool created by the brothers Shane and Craig Smith, inspired by Craig's experience in learning French and Japanese.
In 2007, the same brothers co-founded Education Perfect Ltd. Shane continued studying medicine at the University of Auckland until he took a year off in 2009 to sit in on database lectures of the computer science department.
By 2017, the two brothers sold the company to a private equity firm while having millions of users and was valued $435 million.
Five years later, in 2022, the founders "decided to branch out from teaching languages to cover other core-curriculum subjects."[3][4]
Affiliated Companies
[edit | edit source]On December 1, 2021, EP acquired EdPotential Limited for 4 million NZD.[5] EP then bought Essential Assessment for a price between $35 to $40 million on June 6, 2023.[2]
