Nominis is a Barcelona-based edtech startup running an online English-learning method for primary-school children aged 6-12, built around interactive storytelling, gamified exercises, flashcards and mini-games in 15-minute daily sessions, with progress reports for parents. It operates as Nominis Education, SL and is an impact-oriented, early-stage company aiming to democratise access to quality language teaching. It has raised roughly €520K across two small rounds (a ~€180K first round in late 2021 and a €340K round in September 2023 led by impact fund Ship2B Ventures), plus €140K of ENISA public financing.
