40 billion FCFA market.
Zero dominant player.
We're launching in 30 days.
EduPro is the first platform connecting companies, professionals, trainers and investors around professional training in Africa. We're opening our SEED round to visionary investors.
The Opportunity in 3 Numbers
A massive market in full growth without a consolidated leader
Size of the professional training market in our 3 launch countries (Senegal, Ivory Coast, Rwanda)
Annual growth of the EdTech sector in Africa, accelerated post-COVID and by public policies
Massively fragmented market, opportunity to create the pan-African leader in professional training
We solve a problem that no one else addresses
The problem exists at 3 levels
For Companies
- Catastrophic turnover (35-50% in BPOs)
- Manual, long and costly onboarding
- No way to measure training ROI
- Inadequate and overpriced international solutions
For Professionals
- Inaccessible international training (500-2000 USD)
- Content disconnected from African realities
- No flexibility (schedules, mobile, payment)
- Diplomas not recognized locally
For Trainers
- Dependence on in-person = unstable income
- No tools to digitize their expertise
- Visibility limited to their geographic area
- Impossible to scale their impact
Our Solution: The 4-Sided Marketplace
We are the only ones connecting the entire ecosystem.
