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.
