A global ecosystem of knowledge, culture, and education — of the world, for the world.
Who we are
Loni is a global ecosystem of knowledge, culture, and education. We build digital and physical solutions that let people read books, listen to stories and audio, learn and grow, create and publish, and pass culture down to the next generation.
Our ambition is to build a durable infrastructure for the world's knowledge — accessible anywhere.
Our mission
Make knowledge, culture, and education accessible to everyone through technology — to pass on learning, strengthen cultural identity, and open opportunities for present and future generations.
Our vision
Build the reference global ecosystem for knowledge, culture, and education — connecting generations across the world. We want to contribute to children's education, literacy, the valuing of cultures, the empowerment of creators, and the intellectual growth of communities.
Our house
Reading is private. Buying is simple. Authors and publishers should be paid clearly, on time, in the currency they actually use. None of these are radical ideas, but most online reading platforms have lost track of them.
Loni is one platform, three apps, no clutter. The web is for browsing, buying, and managing your account. The mobile app is for reading. There is no in-app purchase on mobile — we don't take a cut just to take a cut. Mobile Money and cards both work.
What we offer
01
Digital books, paperbacks and hardcovers, comics, educational and cultural content.
02
Audiobooks, podcasts, stories for children, audio learning content.
03
Learning programs, teaching resources, and solutions for schools and families.
04
Tools to help people learn, read, create, and personalize what they hear and see.
05
A platform that lets authors and creators publish and monetize their work.
Our impact
Through Loni, we want to encourage reading among children, ease access to education, preserve cultures and languages, create economic opportunity for creators, and connect diasporas to their roots.
Our values
Knowledge and culture should be shared across generations.
Knowledge must be available to everyone, regardless of economic or geographic barriers.
Technology is a lever for accelerating education and access to knowledge.
We aim for quality in everything we make.
We want to produce real, measurable change.
We celebrate the richness of the world's cultures.
People and communities sit at the heart of what we do.
Our ambition
We're not just building an application. Our goal is to make Loni a major actor in education and culture worldwide.
