What Fluently does

Imagine a human-like English tutor, but 20x cheaper and available 24/7 - that's Fluently! Fluently made for people who already know the basics of English but want to feel truly confident in real conversations: whether that’s in an interview, a business meeting, or chatting with friends. Most English learning apps are built for beginners and don’t help you improve speaking skills. With Fluently, you get: - Unlimited real-world speaking practice - Personalized learning plan - Free English level assessment and progress tracking - Real progress in English speaking skills We’re non-native founders who know the stress of speaking English in important moments. With deep AI expertise, we built Fluently to solve it.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and remotely. The company is based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're in San Francisco because it's where we live and have access to a tech community. Remote work allows flexibility but HQ is here for YC and investor access.
