Gecipe builds metaverse education services that use e-sports games to teach English communication and reskilling to children, schools, municipalities, and working adults.
Gecipe targets the gap between textbook English and usable communication by turning game play into a reason to speak, and it has also used that model in municipal schools and support for students who do not attend school. Its latest Series B financing totals 6.6億円, while the company reports more than 600,000 lessons, retention above 96%, and 95,000 reviews, giving it capital to hire, strengthen the organization, expand education DX into schools, and prepare for a listing.
