ABOUT

DirectEd Development is a marketplace for investors, african talent & tech employers, helping them bridge demand for tech skills in the West through income sharing agreements

We enable investors to invest in investment pools dedicated to fund the up-front cost of education, each with specific theses about future skills demand. This enables students in low-income countries to get laptops, world-class education and apprenticeships with Western tech companies without paying any tuition up-front. Instead they share a percentage of their earnings for a number of years.
