Niesner from Austria, founded
Busuu.

downloads
A success story...
In 2012 busuu.com raised €3.5
million Series A funding, moved its
headquarters to London and
welcomed lastminute.com
co-founder Brent Hoberman as
board adviser.
Adrian and Bernhard pitched the
idea during the 2010 Venture day
in Madrid, but did not make it into
the finals…
however since then Busuu.com
has won several prestigious
awards such as the CEBIT
innovation Award and was
chosen best education start-up
in the TechCrunch Europa
Awards 2011.Make sure that you don’t
miss out on another Busuu
and join us at the Venture
Days in London.
