Veröffentlicht am 19. Feb. 2026

The Berlin-based learning platform sofatutor has acquired the French EdTech company SchoolMouv. The transaction aims to bring both platforms closer together to jointly build a European leader in digital education.

Founded in Berlin in 2008, sofatutor today serves more than two million users across the German-speaking region. Private equity investor EMERAM invested in the company in 2021 with the support of the LARK team and has supported its strategic development since. With the acquisition of SchoolMouv, sofatutor has now completed its first add-on acquisition.

SchoolMouv was founded in Toulouse in 2023 and will continue to operate as an independent brand with its own management following the acquisition.

The Business Law Powerhouse LARK provided comprehensive legal advice to EMERAM and sofatutor on the transaction with Dr. Ludger Schult, Eva-Maria Bayer and Nino Häberlein (all Private Equity/M&A), Dr. Tobias Stuppi and Jakob Heimrich (both Tax), as well as Philipp Büchler (Finance).

Advice on all French law matters was provided by Raphaël Mellerio and Thibaut Richard of Aramis Société d’Avocats.
