Chatterbox is a refugee-powered online language-learning platform for professionals. It was founded by Afghani refugee Mursal Hedayat MBE and Y Combinet Y Combinator alumna Guillemette Dejean and emerged from Brent Hoberman’s Founders Factory accelerator programme. The company serves corporate clients including Unilever, FTI Consulting and the British Red Cross. Chatterbox raised over £1.5m in a pre-seed round to develop its “diversity as a service” offering and to build new products and services. The funds will also be used to make strategic hires across product development, learning, sales and marketing. The startup has received funding from Mustard Seed MAZE and RLC Ventures, and Softbank invested in a previous round.
