What They Do
They select a cohort of 8 start-ups from across Africa, invest in them and give them an ed-tech dedicated support programme to help them scale up across the continent.

Mission
They believe that education will be the great engine of Africa's future development. It will be local education innovations that help solve Africa's education problems and realise the huge potential for richer economies and stronger societies across the continent

Vision
To create EdTech specialist incubator programmes across Africa that ensure anyone with an idea that could raise education standards at scale - wherever, and whoever they are - has access to early stage investment and support.

Guiding Principles
1. Africa leads, not follows
The greatest challenge & opportunity in EdTech lies in Africa - it will produce the greatest innovations

2. Grassroots ideas, global impact
It will be teachers & entrepeneurs - not big bureaucracies - who realise technology’s potential in education

3. Empower teachers, not replace them
They will help teachers deepen & widen impact, not try (and fail) to make them obsolete

4. Evidence-driven, with a laser focus on results
They should reject business-as-usual & embrace new ideas, but pay very close attention to the evidence of what works to improve education
