founder and

7:13

CEO of Finder Miners. Mind Minus started

7:16

as of [music] a language learning app

7:18

where we connect kids from all over the

7:20

world for us to learn in a peer-to-peer

7:22

environment and to make friends from

7:23

across borders. [music] Right now, we've

7:25

got users from more than 50 countries

7:27

and counting. I think that we kids are

7:30

neglected on the market with [music]

7:32

either video games or educational

7:34

products. Minor Mind just wants to be

7:36

the middle ground where we're able to

7:38

have fun by getting you [music] to

7:40

connect with new friends while being

7:41

able to learn something new.

7:46

When I was 10 years old, my Chinese was

7:48

appalling and my mom finally had it and

7:51

sent my brother and I to a Chinese

7:53

summer camp. It went very well because

7:55

we had no choice but to speak in

7:56

Mandarin. [music] And a couple months

7:58

later when I saw an entrepreneurship

8:00

competition for kids, I wondered if I

8:02

could bring the experience online so

8:04

that all us kids can learn languages

8:06

[music] in a more effective manner.

8:08

After the competition, someone

8:10

approached me and said that he'd love to

8:12

be my mentor if I wanted to continue my

8:14

[music] idea. So I jumped at the chance.

8:19

What is minor miners able to do? First

8:22

of all, we are able to provide a safe

8:24

environment
