Idea

Strive Learning is closing early-stage founders business skills gaps and helping them to build smart, scalable solutions and thriving companies.

Current Status

The solution has been assessed as good and meets the recently reviewed Entrepreneurship business learning modules by the National Universities Commission - Nigeria's higher education curriculum regulatory agency. A letter of endorsement is expected from the agency's management. Two State government Ministries and Development Agencies in Nigeria sponsoring youth entrepreneurship skills empowerment programs on annual rolling basis have indicated interest to buy for contract coaching in 2023 valued at over $45,000. Strive Learning SOLVE virtual business masterclass series will commence in January, 2023 delivering for our primary target customers .

Market

Strive Learning Ltd targets Africa's 17.6 million undergraduate students, 70 million failing early-stage Startups, and over 35 million graduates without jobs for the past 5 years.

The e-learning market is valued at $2.2 Billion in 2020 and projected to grow at 11.5% CAGR to $3.3 Billion in 5 years to 2026. The e-business learning market is projected at $1.6 Billion by 2026.

Problem or Opportunity

The recurring high rate of failure of Startups in Africa is driving increasing youth unemployment, poverty and crime in the communities. The increasing failure of Startups is due to skill gaps in undergraduate entrepreneurship business learning curriculum characterized by poor modules design and learning presentation lacking in structure, coherence, and clarity. The learning gaps are observed in early-stage founders poor skills at designing innovation in customer solution, unique value proposition, good business model as well as poor business planning and business strategies to scale their Startups for market success.
