Company mission

To enable anyone to achieve the dream of playing a musical instrument.

Our take

Learning a musical instrument is an ambition for many, but the expense and logistics of finding a teacher can be off-putting. Flowkey is an app making it easy for users to learn to play the piano. Its extensive library of songs to learn, and its course collections, has put the company at the forefront of its space.

Profitable almost immediately after launch, Flowkey founders took part in Die Höhle der Löwen (similar to a German Shark Tank) and partnered with Yamaha. This gave the company great exposure early in its journey and it quickly became one of the global leaders in the market.

As the popularity of e-learning continues to rise, and the market with it, Flowkey should have ample opportunity for growth. It has over 10 million users worldwide, securing its position against its competitors as a pillar of the sector.
