Skoove is a piano learning app developed by Berlin-based Learnfield GmbH. The app offers interactive piano courses catering to all skill levels, using AI and human expertise to provide personalized feedback and support during the learning process.
The Guardian and Spiegel described it as an effective and innovative tool for those learning to play the piano. Wired also highlighted its contribution to Berlin's thriving music tech scene.[2][3][4][5]
Skoove was launched by Learnfield GmbH, a Berlin-based company founded in 2014 by Florian Plenge and Stephan Schulz. It's Berlin's second most-popular piano-learning app, after flowkey, which was founded in 2015. [6][7][8][9]
In 2015, the company participated in the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator,[10] and launched Skoove on the web. The app was released on iOS in 2016, iPad in 2017, and Android in May 2021.[11][12][13][14][15]
Skoove has also received several rounds of investment. In 2015, the company secured seed funding from High Tech Gründerfonds.[16][17] This was followed by a venture capital funding round in 2017, which raised 1.2 million EUR from IBB Ventures and EGORA Ventures.[18]
In 2019, additional investments totaling 2.9 million EUR were made by Ringier Digital Ventures, MGO Digital Ventures, and caparuca.[19][20][21] The company is also supported by an EU grant through the Musical Instrument Learning Experience System (MILES).
