CKGSB MBA graduate and current CKGSB Chuang student Cindy Mi has been the subject of plenty of media coverage in recent weeks, as her online educational business VIPKid continues to thrive amid a flurry of high-profile investments.
CKGSB MBA graduate and current CKGSB Chuang student Cindy Mi was the focus of a lengthy feature piece in Bloomberg this week, highlighting her online educational start-up VIPKid, which has so far raised $150 million in investment and signed up 50,000 children to study English, math and science online.
This comes hot on the heels of Mi’s recent live appearance on CNBC (see below), in which she explains why her company has generated so much interest among investors.
Meanwhile, one of those investors, former NBA star Kobe Bryant, has been talking to the Wall Street Journal (see below) to reveal how he knew that VIPKid was worth his time and money after just five minutes of talking with Cindy.
