Reaching the IE networkIE international reach

3 years ago IE alumni, Adrian hilti

from lichenstein and Bernhard

Niesner from Austria, founded

Busuu.

Bussuu is the world’s largest social

network for learning languages.

• 35 million users

• Over 200 different countries

• Over 20 million mobile app

downloads

A success story...

In 2012 busuu.com raised €3.5

million Series A funding, moved its

headquarters to london and

welcomed lastminute.com

co-founder Brent hoberman as

board adviser.

Adrian and Bernhard pitched the

idea during the 2010 Venture day

in Madrid, but did not make it into

the finals…

however since then Busuu.com

has won several prestigious

awards such as the CEBIt

innovation Award and was

chosen best education start-up

in the techCrunch Europa

Awards 2011. Make sure that you don’t miss out on another Busuu and join us at the Venture

Days in london.
