Xero investor and serial entrepreneur Rowan Simpson has invested an undisclosed amount in New Zealand start-up Go Vocab, which plans to internationalise its online language platform.

Based in Wellington, Go Vocab was founded at the start of the year by Michael Dowse and Jeremy Geros, both in their early twenties, who quit their jobs to focus fulltime on the site.

The site enables language teachers to create classes, set goals for their students and track their students’ progress, namely via vocabulary games played against their classmates.
