Built from proof, not mythology.
The long arc matters, but the public work starts with products, language infrastructure, and a company that people can evaluate in the real world.
OpenEnglish: Proving Scale
Co-founded OpenEnglish to prove that live language learning could scale. Official company materials reported $77M in total revenue for 2020, and later press materials cite 2M+ students served across 25 countries.
The Long Build
Spent the next decade building the curriculum, language systems, product surfaces, and IP behind LOTD. The work was founder-funded and designed for long-duration use, not for a quick demo.
Kelly Arrives
Kelly launched at thedailylesson.com with one shared lesson every day across 4 tracks and 19 lesson languages. Not a pilot. A live daily learning system built to scale.
LOTD Today
LOTD now has live product, live language infrastructure, and a clearer staged-capital story. The long-range infrastructure vision remains, but the public work starts with what partners, learners, and investors can use today.
