Whether you know him as the one behind Native Tongue, WeTeachMe, iPlanking or dozens of other projects, Kym Huynh, 28, has always bubbled with creative ideas by turns empowering, uplifting and playful.
Now a noted graduate of the Launch48 program, WeTeachMe is a solution to two real problems that exist today: (1) information overload and the inability to retain knowledge; and (2) the inability for people to profit from their passions. WeTeachMe democratises education by putting it in the hands of the masses. Anyone, anywhere at any age can learn anything they want. Anytime they want.
Kym Huynh believes firmly in the idea of the Renaissance Man. He’s a lawyer and a professional singer. He hosts three podcasts and manages several more. He’s also behind a chain of humourous photo blogs. Of course, that’s when he isn’t promoting his startup ventures. For all of his accomplishments, he’s taken to knocking himself: “I lead goofily and still appear to be legit.”
WeTeachMe is the brainchild of a diverse fivesome – Kym Huynh, Demi Markogiannaki, Martin Kemka, Rowan McSweeney and Cheng Zhu, two of whom are immigrants. Hyunh is a serial entrepreneur, Markogiannai, a Greek, is crazy about the arts; Kemka has an insatiable curiosity about the world; McSweeney, of Irish heritage, is the marketer with a love for Turkish delights; and Cheng is the group’s code Ninja. Together, they want to change the world we learn, and share knowledge — kind of like the Spice Girls but with better shoes.
