Future of Learning Fund

Future of Learning Fund (FLF) is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on investing in innovative models of learning that aim to deliver education at scale and prepare Africans for the future of work. The firm believes in a global transformation of education that can dramatically improve learning outcomes and better connect learning to jobs in the skills-based economy. This transformation is particularly relevant in Africa, which is projected to have the largest youth population and workforce. FLF aims to capitalize on this generational opportunity by investing in companies that can leapfrog antiquated education systems where demand outstrips supply. FLF identifies critical problems within the African education landscape, including a learning crisis, lack of seats and capacity in educational institutions, a significant skills gap among the workforce, and high rates of unemployment among the youth. They aim to address these challenges through investments in companies leveraging digital transformation, personalized and adaptive learning solutions, and skills-focused, competency-based learning. The fund aims to be a primary source of early capital, community, and value addition to founders in the EdTech market in Africa, recognizing the potential for this market to become a leading global player. By addressing the acute educational challenges and capitalizing on the demographic potential of the continent, FLF aims to generate both financial returns and social impact.
