We're thrilled to share a remarkable success story that exemplifies our mission to connect innovative startups with visionary investors. This is the tale of how we brought together Adam Turaev, an ambitious entrepreneur with a background in technology, who had developed Praktika.ai, a groundbreaking platform using AI avatars to revolutionize language learning, and Dan Ellis, Angel Investor and InRoad Ventures family office representative, Mentor at Techstars.
The magic happened at one of our signature GGW Sharks events. These regular pitch competitions, inspired by "Shark Tank," are designed to create meaningful connections. It was here that Adam delivered a compelling 2-minute pitch about Praktika.ai's innovative approach to language learning. Dan, always on the lookout for transformative ideas, was interested. He later shared with us, "The GGW Sharks events provide a refreshing platform with minimal friction and genuine interactions. It's the perfect setting to discover truly innovative startups." Following the event, Go Global World facilitated further communication between Adam and Dan.
Dan's background in product management and startup strategy helped perfectly with Praktika.ai, while Adam's innovative use of AI in education resonated with Dan's investment thesis. This was a perfect match for investment.
The result? A substantial investment that has propelled Praktika.ai to new heights. While we respect the confidentiality of the exact figures, we're proud to note that Praktika.ai recently raised an impressive $35.5 million, as reported by TechCrunch. This funding is set to accelerate Praktika.ai's mission to make language learning more natural and engaging through AI avatars.
Both Adam and Dan have expressed their gratitude for our role in facilitating this partnership.
Adam shared, "I’m impressed with the results we’ve had and the personal approach Go Global World applies to its members. I loved participating in the Sharks events and getting the chance to pitch to global investors."
Dan echoed this sentiment, stating, "I eagerly anticipate each GGW event. The honesty, minimal friction, and rawness are refreshing. I appreciate the lack of excessive structure, the uniqueness of each pitch, and the genuine interaction with the founders. Their ability to articulate their vision without an over-reliance on pitch decks is commendable."
At Go Global World, we're immensely proud of the role we played in bringing together Praktika.ai and Dan Ellis. This success story underscores our commitment to fostering partnerships that have the potential to shape the future of technology and education.
We believe that with the right connections, groundbreaking ideas can transform into world-changing companies. The Praktika.ai and Dan Ellis partnership is a testament to this belief, and we look forward to facilitating many more such connections in the future.
