Description

With an alarming 80% math failure rate plaguing some schools, Malaysia faces a critical educational challenge. EdTech startup Tupai is on a mission to solve this, not just with an AI-powered tutor, but with a unique peer-to-peer learning community that is already delivering results.

Co-founders Edmond Yap and Andre Sequerah join us to share their journey from beta to a commercial launch that has seen students improve from 'F' to 'B' grades. They discuss their two-pronged solution, their B2B sales strategy via corporate foundations, and their plan to raise RM1.5 million through equity crowdfunding to scale their impact.

We discuss:

  • Their mission to solve the 80% math failure rate in Malaysia.

  • Their unique approach combining an AI tutor with a peer learning community.

  • The impressive results from their school pilots (students going from 'F' to 'B').

  • Their monetisation strategy through corporate foundations and CSR.

  • Their plan to raise RM1.5 million via Equity Crowdfunding (ECF) to scale.

For impact investors, educators, and corporate leaders, this is a deep dive into an outcome-driven company tackling one of the nation's biggest challenges.
