We’ve Been Named One of TIME’s Best Top EdTech Companies of 2024!

As we look back on the past year at Mrs Wordsmith, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible things we’ve achieved. One of our proudest moments was being included in TIME’s Top EdTech Companies of 2024. Out of all the millions of established names and exciting start-ups in our industry, just 250 were included in TIME’s list… and we were one of them! 

Other companies that made the list included Kahoot (a game-based learning platform), Quizlet (the digital flashcard makers), Udacity (an online education platform), MEL Science (the subscription platform that gives kids access to everything from VR experiences to exciting experiments), as well as Grammarly (the world’s leading language writing assistant). Being recognised alongside such innovative brands is a major achievement and reflects Mrs Wordsmith’s commitment to making language learning easier and more enjoyable for children all around the world. Although some months have passed since TIME’s list was published, for us, it’s still a very big milestone and an ongoing reminder of what Mrs Wordsmith is all about. 

How The Rankings Work

TIME conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify the leading EdTech companies globally. Companies were evaluated on their product portfolio quality, intellectual property, relevance to target audiences, employee numbers, as well as funding data. Needless to say, the selection process is pretty rigorous, so we’re even more thrilled to have been included in the list!

This award will join many others including a Tillywig Toy Award, Parent's Choice Award, Mom's Choice Award and Academics’ Choice Award. With an ever-growing display cabinet of trophies, we continue to establish ourselves as a leader in educational innovation, one lovingly designed product at a time.  

A Note from Our CEO

"Being identified by TIME as one of the World's Top EdTech Companies is a huge achievement,” says Pierre Lagrange, CEO of Mrs Wordsmith. “This accolade reflects the hard work and creativity of our entire team in making exceptional products that make reading better (and sillier!) for children. It’s that silliness, together with our rigorous scientific methodologies, that really sets us apart from other literacy companies. We’re committed to injecting those little moments of joy into children’s learning, and awards like this remind us that we’re on the right path."

On behalf of everyone at Mrs Wordsmith – our illustrators, designers, writers, developers and education experts – we want to say thank you! To TIME for recognising us in their prestigious list, but also to the countless families who have made Mrs Wordsmith a part of their learning journey.
