will investors get dividends ?

Hi Adrian. Thank you for your question. As an early-stage growth company, we plan to re-invest revenue and earnings into the business so that we can grow and expand our business and impact all over the world. Thus, while dividends are a possibility in the long term when we are a mature company, at this point, we do not have plans to pay dividends.

Is your focus going to be entirely on language learning for young children for the next five years?

Hi Baron. Great question. First, let me answer why we are initially focused on children's language learning. There are 2 billion language learners in the world, and based on our personal experience, we believe that the children's language learning market is a large opportunity because existing solutions are primarily designed for adult learners and still based on traditional methods that are unengaging and ineffective. As a result, the children's market is highly fragmented with no clear lead...

Mark, thank you for your response. I have considered using it myself and I intend to invest.

Excellent. Please do try and let us know about your experience. Welcome as an investor! We are grateful to have you on board.

Hello, on your form C, I have noticed that between 2019 and 2020 your cash on hand went down $300K, your debt grew $1M, and revenues only doubled to $243K. I liked your product demos and material videos, so I went for the lifetime free subscription perk. However, I am little w...

Hi Vilem. Great question. Thanks for asking. Here’s some background for context. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, we have focused on building, testing, and iterating our product to reach, engage, and retain our customer/market. We have intentionally kept our marketing expenses to a minimum to lengthen our runway as we iterate based on signs of product-market fit. Thus, we have not emphasized revenue to date and the financial results for each year are similar. For example, we decided to offer FabuLing...

Hello, Love this company, have a bunch of questions. Reveal only as much as you can, but no more. 1. You have a patent pending. What is the likelihood it will be granted? If it isn’t granted, to what extent does this weaken your competitive position (moat)? 2. I have played ar...

Hi Georgiy. Thank you for the encouragement and support. Great questions. I will answer them in line. Q1. You have a patent pending. What is the likelihood it will be granted? If it isn’t granted, to what extent does this weaken your competitive position (moat)? A1: Our utility patent was filed in September 2018 for our “Magical Translations®” language learning system and method. We have since had 3 rounds of comments and responses with the USPTO, and while there are no guarantees, we are inc...

Strengths

says, "Gamification of foreign language learning...that's kinda hot. I know first hand how difficult it is to teach a foreign language to a child. If executed well, this could be explosive. It seems the founders have what it takes!"

Advice

says, "Greater clarity on the revenue model would be helpful. Also, I would like to understand better how the firm think about the challenges of converting free users to paid users. Lastly, how are the founders thinking of future language introductions."

Comment from Fabulingua

Fabulingua says, "Hi Louie, thanks for your comments. With regards to the revenue model, we are essentially a subscription model with the opportunity to upgrade to higher subscription tiers for additional features. For example, in our new mobile game release coming out later this year, the app will be free to download, and we will offer a 7 day free trial to FabuLingua's game which includes our language learning stories. After the free trial, we plan to charge a base monthly subscription (~$7) for continued access to the game as well as all new feature and story releases. It will also be possible to upgrade to premium subscription levels in order to gain access to additional features related to player game features as well as parent/teacher learning data & insights. We have confidence that we can convert free users to paid users based on the data from our current release where we are converting 75% of trials into subscriptions. This is well above industry average (60%). As for future languages, we are very excited to expand FabuLingua into major English language learning markets in Latin America, Asia (India, China, Japan) and Europe. There are 2 billion language learners in the world and 80% are learning English. FabuLingua's platform has been intentionally designed so that we can efficiently repurpose our game and story assets into new languages. - Thanks, Mark Begert, CEO"

I am re-investing in FabuLingua because I believe FabuLingua is creating something truly unique and impactful at the intersection of two large global growth markets - mobile gaming and digital learning. I know the founders, and my family has been a FabuLingua customer since Day 1. I originally invested because I was aligned with the mission and vision, and I have continued to invest because I see the steady progress they are making and the talented team they are building in a short time. I believe that speaking more than one language is, as Mark Begert says, a super power. All parents would want this for their kids. But it's hard! Combining the engagement of mobile games with a highly effective, science-backed language learning method based on children's stories is an incredibly compelling solution. I'm confident that FabuLingua will change the ways kids learn new languages across the world.
