Speak League is the winning project of Startup Weekend Romania. Speak League started with an idea on Friday, which was developed into a startup, with a business model and a working demo that was performed live on stage on Sunday evening. The team of 4 was formed on the spot and they’ve done an amazing job creating a startup in only 54 hours.

So what is Speak League?
Speak League is a social platform that allows you to practice the foreign language you desire with people who are native or proficient in it. You will be automatically matched with people who share the same interests and hobbies as you. The platform offers chat, audio and video support for your conversations. And you are encouraged to help others learn the languages you’re good at, thus earning credit that you will use to practice your own languages. Or you can skip that, and just pay cash. It all seems so simple and makes so much sense.

“The idea came from Alex, who came prepared for the 60 seconds pitch. He convinced us, the idea went through and we formed the team without knowing much of each other. From this moment on, it was all a chain of great happenings. First of all, Alex and Titel are both very talented and have completed each other developing the technical side of the project. Then, Andrei and I have worked on developing the business model and validating the hypotheses. We worked very well together and we managed to communicate the true value of the startup. Startup Weekend is a very special experience. It’s intense but also very rewarding to be able, in only 54 hours, to start from scratch and end up with a viable business – one with even a “must have” potential.” – Andra.
