Tuition collection for K-12 private schools in Africa
We built a tuition payment platform that pays private schools upfront for their K-12 fees. Parents then repay us monthly on a flexible plan. The platform also helps schools get loans and access discounted services from vendors, all aimed at improving fee collection and financial stability for schools and parents.
We live and work in Lagos, Nigeria, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
Lagos is where our customers and schools are. It's the right place to build because the demand and operational needs are local to West Africa's largest economy.
