What it does:
Lingos is your personal and local online language learning community

Local: Lingos allows language learners, native speakers and teachers to easily find & connect with each other in any city around the world. For example, an intermediate Spanish speaker living in London wants to practice but doesn’t have anyone to connect – using the Lingos platform, this person can input their post-code, area, or nearest intersection to find all local Spanish learners, speakers and teachers within that area. From here they can connect for a coffee or agree to meet for a 1:1 lesson.

Social: One of the disadvantages of learning a language without being immersed in the culture is the lack of cultural and social events that surround the learner. Lingos solves this by providing specific and structured events that will allow learners to come together, socialise and practice.

Personal: A fully personalised online language learning service delivered on the web, mobile & tablet apps & digital TVs. Lingos partners with the top global language schools to adapt their tested curriculum to an online platform that includes text, audio and videos. Creating a full circle learning environment that allows the learner to experience as much or as little as they desire around their specific language.

How it beats the competition:
Unlike our competitors, Lingos is local. It allows language learners to find other learners, speakers and teachers nearby.

Lingos also provides proven and tested world class teaching curriculums from established institutes. We digitize the top learning materials into video, audio and text, for a proven and tested learning experience.

Blacklist is the powerful megaphone for people to react after a bad consumer experience to get their voice heard. Started in 2012 by Val Lefebvre from a personal frustration of no easy way to react after many dissatisfying consumer experiences, the concept positions itself as a destination on the web deployed across platforms that leverages the voices of individuals and their reach to impact accordingly.
Blacklist’s innovative, yet disruptive solution offers the power to the people to express themselves on their brand experience. The aim is to ease the consumer feedback anywhere and anytime to bring brands closer for a more aligned interaction.

How it beats the competition:
Blacklist breaks the barriers of digital feedback and gives the power to the people by making it easy, fast and simple to react. Brands and companies on the other side will have the new ‘Defensive Marketing’ opportunity to listen, and engage with people talking about them on the platform.
The vision is to bring more transparency between consumers-brands, for more aligned interactions.

Anyone with a web-enabled device can go to blacklist.co and check-out, browse or search what’s happening with consumer reactions on brands products and services. It’s easy to get a glance and the context on experiences of others, and just as easy to engage with it and post yours
