Blue Canoe, a Bellevue, Wash. startup that makes an app for learning English, just raised $2.5 million in seed funding.
Lots of tools help people learn English, but Blue Canoe says it is a little different. The B2B startup sells to English training institutes and companies with global workforces that need their employees to be strong English speakers. Blue Canoe’s customers include multi-national corporations and English training institutions across the U.S., Japan and China.
