Startup, New York, NY – 1/10/2017 employees

OKpanda is an English learning platform that includes instant messaging, live voice, and digital curricula. In the same way Uber allows anybody with a car to be a Limo service, we allow any qualified English teacher to build their own English classroom.

We target the $50B dollar English learning space, the majority of whose revenues still go to brick and mortar language schools.

Despite a growing amount of great (and free) content, a learner’s problem is knowing what to use, how to use it, and not giving up. Our teachers use OKpanda’s live-video classes and cutting edge digital curricula to solve students’ #1 cause of failure, giving up, and deliver an awesome learning experience.

In December 2013 we released our first product on Japan’s Apple App Store, and have since then reached #1 position in the education category, Apple app of the year 2014 and brought in over 1 million installs. We are executing against our vision, growing fast, and looking for amazing people to join us.
