How Taohe Tech helped a global English-learning platform achieve 25% of its worldwide revenue from China.

Over the past eight years, Taohe Tech has partnered with one of the world's leading EdTech platforms — a U.S.-based, YC and Benchmark-backed English-learning company — to unlock its full potential in China. Through our licensed education infrastructure, B2B sales operations, localized marketing, and on-the-ground support, we helped the brand grow from zero presence to a multimillion-dollar success story.

The Partner

Our client is a global English-learning platform, headquartered in the U.S., and backed by top-tier venture investors including Y Combinator, Bessemer Partners, and Benchmark Ventures. The platform connects learners with English tutors worldwide through online video sessions and AI-assisted speaking tools.

Entering China's Regulated Education Market

When the partnership began, the client faced three major barriers:

1

Regulatory Restrictions

Unable to register or advertise as a foreign education provider without a Chinese education license.

2

Payment and Billing Complexity

Enterprise clients required compliant "Education Training" invoices (fapiao) for B2B contracts.

3

Localization Gaps

Global campaigns and content didn't resonate with Chinese learners, and platforms like WeChat or Douyin were unfamiliar territory.

Taohe Tech became the local partner to solve these challenges and operationalize the client's China strategy.
