Timeline
From the first SCHOOLAP prototype to the academic formulation of AwaBoost.
Company founded in Kinshasa with one intuition: digitization can transform the African education system. Seedstars incubation, first fundraising round, first school clients.
Rawbank Prize · Seedstars DRC · KDW Startup Contest
International victory that puts SCHOOLAP on the global stage. The startup becomes the ambassador of Congolese EdTech innovation.
Laureate of two flagship programs: OIF — Pioneers of francophone entrepreneurship (International Organisation of La Francophonie) and COPA — Business Plan Competition (DRC Government × World Bank). SCHOOLAP gains a lasting place on institutional and donor radars.
Launch of DIPLOME.CD in partnership with the DRC government. Digitization of student academic records and issuance of official state diplomas on blockchain. First millions of academic and school certificates secured by blockchain, first wave of mass adoption for the SCHOOLAP platform.
Creation of the EDUKEVER holding (SCHOOLAP UAE) in Dubai to prepare pan-African expansion. Opening of Benin and Côte d'Ivoire offices.
Sale of custom software to the École des Métiers du Numérique in Benin — first international deployment of the Startup Studio division. Opening of the Kenya hub to serve English-speaking East Africa. Partnerships with META, Airtel Money, REDICI.
SCHOOLAP Group reaches its pan-African cruising speed: more than 3 million users impacted every year, more than 5 million transactions and more than 1 million academic and school certificates secured on blockchain issued annually. 40+ team members across 3 regional hubs (Dubai, Kinshasa, Abidjan, Nairobi).
Launch of COMPTAPPS — the Group's first FinTech solution — and structuring of the Startup Studio (SCHOOLAP TECH), now developing cross-sector digital solutions and custom software for African businesses and institutions.
EMBA thesis defended in Lyon in November 2025: "The Congolese diaspora as a lever for the emergence of a high-performing entrepreneurial ecosystem in the DRC." The AwaBoost model is formalized.
Personal website goes live as a pre-launch showcase for AwaBoost. Recruitment of the first partners, mentors, trainers and investors. The AwaBoost platform is in development.
My convictions
Solutions for Africa are designed and built from the continent. Not in European startup studios.
Entrepreneurial Africa needs field presence. Digital alone doesn't replace human contact.
$100 billion a year. The challenge isn't money. It's the channel to turn it into growth.
