Founded in 2020 by Abdel Monsef Ismail, Ayman Hamza, and Hosni Ahmed, Schoolz is a technology-driven platform designed to provide safe, reliable, cost-effective transportation solutions for students.
Schoolz has quickly positioned itself as a vital service in the education ecosystem by addressing a critical need for secure and affordable student mobility.
Ibn Sina Training Academy, established in 2017, focuses on specialized medical training programs.
Its offerings include courses in medical translation, coding, and digital marketing, equipping professionals with skills to meet the demands of the modern healthcare industry.
With the addition of these two startups, EdVentures has expanded its portfolio to 24 companies, further cementing its status as the leading corporate venture capital firm in ed-tech across the MENA region.
The investments were facilitated through the EdTech Ventures Studio (EDVS) program, an innovative initiative launched by EdVentures to nurture promising startups.
Schoolz and Ibn Sina Training Academy were selected from a competitive pool of 10 startups that participated in the inaugural EDVS BootCamp.
This program aims to provide entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and funding needed to bring transformative educational solutions to market.
