STARTUPS
An excerpt of companies in which I was a founder/partner:

Learning languages while watching TV: uugot.it enables learning languages while watching TV. The innovative app streams TV channels on smartphones, tablets, and desktop browsers and adds interactive subtitles.

With uugot.it language learning becomes not just super easy but so much fun as well.
