Our take

Elevate Labs central product - the Elevate App - is a gamified mobile app that provides cognitive training in skills such as maths and language. Developed by former MindSnacks CEO Jesse Pickard, Elevate App has raised more than $20 million in funding, putting it in a strong position against a myriad of competing “brain training” apps.

Though central competitor Lumosity has received substantially more funding than the company and has more users worldwide, Elevate has won multiple app of the year awards thanks to its punchy design and subtler games.

Elevate App is also drawing attention from the language learning market. Whilst the practical skills acquired from cognitive learning apps are still contested, Elevate could find prolonged interest from language education and international business sectors thanks to its subtler approach to conversational skills, challenging the user in reading, writing, and listening, rather than building blocks of language. As it stands though, Elevate is steadily growing its popularity as a casual mobile game application
