Gojimo is an education software company headquartered in London, United Kingdom, which produces a self-test exam preparation mobile app for the iPhone, iPad, Android and the web. The content spans mainly across the secondary school public exams syllabus in the UK and USA such as GCSE A Level and the SAT.〔http://www.gojimo.com/exams.〕 As of January 2015 the app has been installed over 500,000 times. Gojimo was founded by serial entrepreneur George Burgess. The app currently offers over 50,000 free multiple-choice, curriculum-based quiz questions and over 10,000 premium questions.〔http://gojimo.co/article/VE4Zri0AAC4AFvl_/the-journey-so-far〕 ==History== George Burgess came up with the idea for exam preparation apps while studying for his A Level exams.〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidprosser/2014/05/01/553/〕 Media accounts have made light of his being caught emailing a freelance app developer by his Geography teacher, who resultantly became his first business adviser.〔http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/technology/article3990065.ece〕 Having established EducationApps Ltd. the EducationApps range grew to over a hundred subject-specific apps.〔http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/30/index-ventures-joins-1m-seed-round-backing-mobile-education-platform-startup-gojimo/〕 The apps quickly took off and Burgess produced nine BBC Bitesize apps (in a deal with BBC Active, a joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Pearson Education). He continued to run the company while studying at Stanford University in America. In 2014 venture capital firm Index Ventures and JamJar Investments, a fund set up by the founders of Innocent smoothies, announced they invested over $1 million in Burgess’ company, which was rebranded as Gojimo and grouped into a single platform solution and launched at the 2014 BETT show. 〔http://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-news/21yearold-londoner-raises-1m-from-innocent-smoothie-founders-and-skype-investors-for-education-app-9095307.html〕 Over the course of 2014 the Gojimo team began to develop in-house content, the teacher portal and launched on Android and the web in 2015. The team now has 14 members of staff. Gojimo was also a finalist of the Best App Category of BETT 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gojimo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
