Their first product is an AI-powered, multi-award winning online language learning platform that employs marginalised people in need of work to teach their native languages.

Businesses use their proprietary technology, enhanced by live inspiring human coaching, to drive faster success in their learning programmes. This startup has sparked interest from the likes of the Guardian and the BBC as a social innovation capable of radically and permanently tipping the scales towards a more just global economy.
