MetaCTO was approached by ParrotClub, an innovative startup aiming to connect language learners with fluent speakers for real-time practice. The founder, a polyglot with a passion for languages, had a compelling vision and early traction indicators but lacked the technical expertise to bring the platform to market. The challenge was to develop and launch a robust platform that could support peer-to-peer video communication and scale to accommodate a growing user base.
The concept involved creating a two-sided marketplace that would facilitate real-time communication between language learners and fluent speakers. By integrating AI for automated corrections and a subscription model, the platform aimed to provide an engaging and effective learning experience. The goal was to transform a WordPress plugin proof-of-concept into a full-featured web and mobile application, driving recurring revenue and user growth.
