- Comment: Most of these sources just have brief mentions of this company in long lists, rather than significant coverage. Interviews aren't independent, so they can't establish notability. LittlePuppers (talk) 19:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Mimo (/ˌmiːmoʊ/ MEE-moh) is an Austrian coding platform and company that offers interactive programming courses in various programming languages, including HTML, JavaScript, Python, SQL, and Swift.[1]
Introduced on iOS in 2016, Mimo has since expanded to Android and web browsers.[2] The company uses a freemium model and offers an optional premium subscription to unlock additional features.[2]
History edit
Mimo was founded by Johannes Berger, Dennis Daume, Heinrich Ameseder, and Lorenz Schimik in 2016, following Swifty, a Swift-focused coding app that Berger built during his senior year at TU Wien.[3] The team came together after Swifty was featured on Product Hunt, as Daume, Ameseder, and Schimik offered Berger help in expanding to Android, marketing, and improving the design.[3]
In 2016, the team participated in the Techstars accelerator program.[3]
In 2017, Mimo raised a €650,000 seed round with venture capital firm PUSH Ventures and angel investors such as Johann Hansmann, Busuu co-founder Bernhard Niesner, and the founders of Runtastic.[4]
