Welcome back to Found, where we get the stories behind the startups.
This week Becca and Dom are joined by Markus Witte, the co-founder of the language learning platform Babbel. Witte shared insights on being an early player in the online language learning industry and how the company has navigated through 20 years of market disruptions. He also discussed:
- What it was like having four co-founders
- When he realized it was time to step down as CEO
- How the company has expanded in recent years
After the conversation, Dom and Becca returned to the mic to share their thoughts on the company’s longevity and future prospects for Babbel.
