There’s A Big Difference Between Raising $10M And Cashing Out! 

DateFriday, May 13, 2011 at 5:41PM

Last night a Chilean blogger posted this animated GIF on his blog Vitamina Calcium, getting over 500 comments about our commercials: 

As I read the commentary, some people said they loved our ads while others said they hated them. But the comments that really caught my attention were the ones talking about how I had just pocketed $10 million dollars! (examples below)

 hellomynameisross reblogged this from oolachinaoo and added:

WHAT??? Ese carajito dueño de OpenEnglish y ya millonario??????? Nawebonada de genial DDD:

 oolachinaoo reblogged this from chiguire and added:

jajajajaja es buenisima xD sabian q el calvito es el dueño de Open English? y se hizo millonario con         esa mierda..ya hay...

Let me clarify! Open English, the company that I started few years back, has now raised a total of over $10M. The funds will be used to continue improving our learning platform and to fund our expansion into new territories, such as Brazil. Over time, if we are able to get thousands of students to reach fluency with our program, THEN my shares in the company should be worth some money. But in the meantime, I’m living on a salary!  

So to all the potential kidnappers across the Americas, my message to you is…you’re going to have to wait a few years… ;-)

    This is the duty of the family who can behave like a psych Trist. At that time the teacher role also maters a lot. The teacher should behave like a supporter the best counselor. And to support the kid give him love and care.
