Congratulations to GlobalScholar.com!
Posted by Aaron Lovelace
A post on TechCrunch.com on Wednesday announced that GlobalScholar.com closed a $27M investment round. Wow! There are more than a few interesting startups in this space offering everything from pre-paid tutoring to on-demand tutoring, to one-off homework help and more. These startups along with Speekit see the gap between where education currently is and where it should be. Education as a whole lags far behind other industries in terms of innovation and technology adaption which has created a HUGE opportunity for all of us.
By some estimates, education is a $3 trillion global industry and foreign language learning alone makes-up about $20 billion of it. Kevin and I are confident that Speekit can find a little room in there somewhere
