memo

• The founders are alumni of an accelerator program, Open Network Lab, in the last year, in which they launched C2C English learning service. They pivoted this year to provide a solution for business customers, which seems doing much better. It might be one of trends this year that more startups look to stable services targeting business customers instead of trying to run social-related services focusing on consumers.
