Company mission

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

Our take

Learning to play a musical instrument is more often than not 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. Alongside growing popularity for e-learning, its extensive library of songs to learn and 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.

Now priding itself on 10 million users worldwide, Flowkey is set within a growing e-learning market and giving competitors like Simply Piano a run for its money.
