Company Profile

Startup Immersive Content Other

Nautilus Inc.

Nautilus is an AI-powered EdTech startup addressing the global literacy crisis by helping children ages 6–9 turn reading into a repeatable daily habit.

In Korea, 92% of elementary school teachers report experiencing students’ literacy gaps in the classroom, while nearly 30% of OECD students struggle with basic literacy proficiency. This shows that literacy decline is not just a local issue in Korea, but a serious global education crisis — and a major market opportunity.

Nautilus bridges this “Habit Gap” through quest-based gamification and its proprietary AI engine, NEXIS (Nautilus EXpert Creation Intelligence System). NEXIS creates personalized stories where each child becomes the protagonist of their own learning journey, increasing motivation, engagement, and repeat reading behavior.

The platform has already demonstrated strong market fit in Korea, achieving a 32% increase in weekly reading volume and a record-high 80% monthly payment retention rate.

Led by a serial entrepreneur with a successful M&A exit and proven experience in the U.S. and Japanese digital content markets, together with a CTO and senior developer team from the previous venture with extensive global scaling experience, Nautilus is now preparing to scale its proven engagement platform and data flywheel to the APAC market.
