Idea

Based on AI, speech-to-text recognition and ML, Everytale allows international users to educate themselves in their mother tongues or other languages and educate others. Content creators receive a tool to monetize their knowledge through paid sessions. By gamifying education, we add a competitive aspect that intensifies users to learn and realize the value of obtained knowledge. ML helps to create a portrait of each user's competencies, and these competencies grow during the interactions on the platform. In addition, we create a fundraising tool to provide quality education in single cases.

Current Status

We are under development. The launch is scheduled for July in the US, EU and Russia. We have gathered an audience of 100,000 users for beta testing the platform. We have established contacts with the largest charitable organizations, associations of hearing impaired citizens, and educational movements. Among them: New Teacher Center, Teach for America, Teach for Pakistan, Teach for All, British Deaf Association, World Association of the Deaf, Russian Association of the Deaf, US Department of Education, Ministry of Education of Russia, Afterschool Alliance, Echoing Green and many many more. We have entered into agreements with Roscongress, which operates 80% of the conference rooms in Russia, to equip these rooms with our platform. We also entered into agreements with 4 universities to launch the platform in pilot mode.

Market

Education market - $5 trillion
Online education market - $252 Billion
Congress and Exhibition Market - $38 Billion

Problem or Opportunity

There are 71 million refugees in the world, 446 million hearing-impaired people. 5 billion people speak only their native language. Everytale connects unemployed professionals and recruiters, young talents with universities, and gives people experiencing financial aid a chance to overcome barriers to learning and earning. Moreover, Everytale helps integration of refugees and people with disabilities in social communities and on the labor market.
We are creating a platform that will attract the best professionals from different industries as well as the best universities. These professionals will create content available to an unlimited number of users. By acquiring knowledge, users will be able to find jobs that they like. The content consumer will choose its own development direction taking into account global trends. During the training, he will see an increase in the level of his competencies and the average level of competencies in the industry. This knowledge will help him regulate the intensity of classes. A portrait of the user's competencies will be available to recruiters, thus, not the color of the skin and physical characteristics, but only professional skills will affect the career opportunities of the user. This is what barrier-free environment means.
