What happens when AI suddenly makes your obscure capability valuable?
A few years ago, I invested in a small Swiss ed-tech company called Ha Hu.
Ha Hu was created during Covid by an entrepreneurial mom, Nigist Goytom, who was frustrated by the lack of digital tools she could use to teach her children Amharic.
Ha Hu eventually expanded into Tigrinya and other underserved languages. But still struggled to grow.
Then, when generative AI arrived, Nigist and her team realized that Ha Hu had a capability with a different value: collecting text from languages with little AI training data.
So they pivoted to Bee Educate. beeeducate.com, a startup focusing on rare language preservation (or on preserving languages that are rare for AIs).
Today Bee Educate is working on a project to collect and digitize Makonde, one of the languages spoken in Mozambique.
This is a good example of how a rare capability can find new uses as technology changes.
What started as an ed-tech company focused on basic literacy for underserved languages has become an effort to ensure that those languages are not left behind in the era of LLMs.
