We are early-stage investors in new and improved models of learning that deliver education at scale and prepare Africans for the future of work. There is a global reinvention of education taking place that has the ability to dramatically improve learning outcomes and to better connect learning to jobs in the skills-based economy. This revolution is more relevant in Africa than anywhere as the continent soon to have the largest youth population and workforce faces a generational opportunity to leapfrog often antiquated education systems where demand outstrips supply. As the first dedicated EdTech investor in Africa, we aim to be the primary source of capital, coaching and community for founders shaping what will soon be the largest education market in the world.
