This week on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Ian Freed, Co-Founder and CEO of Bamboo Learning. Bamboo Learning is the leader in interactive voice powered education and have recently closed a $1.4M Seed investment round. Also, I have been super excited to interview Ian, given he is a 12 year Amazon veteran with endless interesting experiences. Here is a bit of his bio. At Amazon, Ian was a Vice President, and he served as Technology Adviser to Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos from 2004-2005. He led the Amazon Kindle business including business strategy, product development, business development, and marketing from 2006 until 2010. Additionally, Ian led the Amazon Echo/Alexa business from inception in 2011 through first product release in 2015. From 2016-2017, Ian led consumer services including Amazon Restaurants - a one-hour food delivery service from local restaurants in 25 cities.

Following this background, Ian digs into the product itself which is a portfolio of 5 different interactive education experiences. Following the product discussion, we dive into Bamboo\\u2019s recent $1.4M Seed investment round. For this piece, Ian frames up where we can expect to see the Bamboo Learning business and product offering go into the years ahead.  I hope you enjoy this week\'s episode of Voicing Startups!
