uSpeak provides iPhone and iPad apps that teach Spanish through adaptive games and personalized learning paths. The apps use a Competence Based Repetition Algorithm and a system that generates learning paths based on customized level and interests. The company plans to use the newly raised capital to expand to other platforms and hire new staff. uSpeak was co-founded in 2011 by Andrés Burdett and Jamie Dick-Cleland and is based in Madrid, Spain. The team also includes CTO John Stockdale, a former Facebook software engineer. The company raised €500K in funding.
