Highlights  

•  BCE is an e-learning multimedia edutainment company focused on exposing early learners to a 2nd language.

•  Our vision was born out of the broad recognition of the importance of bilingualism and bi-literacy as an asset in a global economy.

•  Our initial market focus is on broadcasters, streaming networks, YouTube & video gaming companies

•  We developed an innovative approach to learning based upon a 70/30 model.

•  Our growth strategy will include other languages & geographic expansion.

•  Already in talks with Discovery, Vme Media, Chile & City of NY.

       Consumer  Problem  

•  According to LENA Research Foundation, Hart & Risely Study & Stanford research confirm we have huge “word gap” problem

•  Low income families hear 30 million fewer words by age 3 than their affluent peers

•  This 10x language degrade contributes to low academic achievement & barriers to economic prosperity

     70/30  Solu7on  

  According to a 18 yr study by PhDs, Collier & Thomas, a dual language program in schools can effectively close the achievement gap and improve student outcomes.

  We want to introduce dual language to the edutainment space by utilizing a 70% / 30% split: Spanish to English.

  None of our competing IPs are utilizing this model.
