"Through this funding, we will continue our mission to empower individuals to communicate effectively and boost their confidence in using the English language,” Eng. Abdullah Al-Jabri, the founder and CEO of iStoria, tells StartupScene. “We are optimistic and eagerly anticipate the next phase of our journey. Our growth and impact will primarily come from serving organizations and expanding our global presence.”
With the infusion of capital, iStoria plans to further enhance its English language learning platform, accelerating innovation and extending its reach to learners worldwide.
