The Speak Ukraine campaign aims to strengthen the feeling that the world supports Ukrainians, Preply dev.ua reported.
«Preply was born in Ukraine, and our roots are here. Supporting Ukraine is not just a responsibility, it is part of our DNA. Even in the darkest times, solidarity gives us strength. Together we stand with Ukraine,» said Kyrylo Bigay, co-founder and CEO of Preply.
As part of the Speak Ukraine Preply campaign:
«At Preply, we believe that language has the power to unite people and promote intercultural understanding. The Speak Ukraine campaign is designed not only to celebrate Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage, but also to become a platform for voices that need to be heard around the world. This initiative is our contribution to supporting Ukraine during this difficult time, and we call on people from all over the world to join us and express solidarity with the Ukrainian people,» said Sofia Tavares, Brand Director at Preply.
Recall that last year, Viva Technology published its annual list of the 100 most promising technology companies in Europe — Top 100 Next Unicorns — with the potential to reach a valuation of $1 billion or more in the near future. It included two Ukrainian startups — Headway and Preply.
It is a global online language learning platform that connects tutors with students in 180 countries. Over 35,000 tutors teach over 50 languages using a machine learning algorithm that matches tutors to each student.
Founded in the US in 2012 by three Ukrainians — Kyrylo Bigay, Serhiy Lukyanov, and Dmytro Voloshyn, the company has grown from a team of three to nearly 500 employees and 60 nationalities.
Preply has offices in Barcelona, New York, London, and Kyiv, and the team operates in 30 countries in Europe, the United States, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
