Mekkis Labs is the developer of the line of Listen & Speak language learning applications for the IOS and Android platforms. Since becoming a finalist in the March 2011 MIT Global Start-up Workshop, we have turned our concept into a working product, and at this point in time we are demonstrating our beta publicly. Feel free to download our free trial version of the L&S app for the iPhone on iTunes in the coming weeks, and give us your feedback! Why: We chose Korea as our launch because the market for language in Korea is emblematic of most of Asia: there is the realization that foreign trade will be a foundation skill for an export driven economy, and therefore a huge investment is being put forward. However the scope is limited to English, the percentage of family income devoted to this in Korea alone is between 15 - 25%, and the training period is between 8 to 10 years, with only a 15% chance that the student will achieve an intermediate level of English. Software: We develop smartphone based scalable language learning apps that will start with English in South Korea. Our apps are designed to be globally expandable, and our current road map expands our language foundation to China, Japan, Russia, India, & Africa in the near term. Our apps are modular, and as such we can quickly enable new language sets rapidly, additionally we can gather learning, testing and demographic information quickly for upgrades and development of modules that target each markets specific need. Investor Interest: We feel that this is an exciting investment in an industry that is outpacing other verticals, capitalized, we can address aggressive growth in existing and new markets, as well as the demands of marketing this series of products internationally. Once you see the approach we are taking, I think you'll see why we have confidence and join our enthusiasm in the prospect our mobile language learning system has!
