Revenue up almost 5x from Q1/2019 to Q1/2021, yet they are still bleeding money since losses also went up almost 5x. Bad sign for a platform business.

What are they even going to do with the money? More languages? Teaching to a higher level?
Seems more like cashing in on frothy market (or cashing out some VCs)
