    Company Overview

    DynEd means Dynamic Education. We're a small private, global and profitable EDUCATION company with 12+ million active learners, and we're looking to grow 10X by 2020. We improve the lives of millions every year and that makes us all feel good. With English speaking skills, our students can earn up to 3X the normal local salary levels for their families, so the motivation to learn is high. We need ~5 more engineers in 2015 and more next year. We have our own hard-earned cash now to invest in re-engineering our back-end and we know we're going to need it to support our growth, so we're hiring right now ahead of new investment.

    21st Century Education

    We have a learning platform for which we were awarded software patents. We use neuroscience and data analytics to help students acquire English speaking skills up to 3X faster than other approaches. Our system adapts to each learner based on the analytics of their study habits, and by completing the feedback loop our system teaches students how to learn more and more effectively.

    Today

    We have built a profitable SAAS business in the English learning field, and we have quietly enabled our clients around the world to literally help multiple millions of students reach their English fluency goals. Today, we have about 12 million active students on our servers.

    Taking action for the future

    We have stayed private and bootstrapped ourselves to profitability. We're doing something right because our clients have been increasing and renewing for over 20 years. We plan to bring in investment during 2015 to reach our ambitious 10X growth goals that run through 2020, a good time to join us.
