Bluebook start-up is a smart English vocabulary learning application designed for Iranian customers ' specific needs called Bluebook. An idea that I had after taking the TOEFL test myself in 2017. Bluebook served more than 50,000 people over time through our own app and our licensed educational content. We decided not to pursue further expansion and stopped our marketing campaigns in early 2018 considering all of our team would come to leave the country by mid-2018. However, it warms my heart that we still get new customers to this day using the app just because someone else referred it to them.--
