From October 19 to 24, 2026 in Abidjan, African Digit Consulting joined the PAES investment readiness week with KLASSCI, its education management solution. It was an opportunity to connect the product’s realities with investors’ expectations.

A week to prepare for growth.

Led by CDC-CI Capital and Agence Emploi Jeunes, with Plug and Play Tech Center, the programme brought together twenty finalist startups. From October 19 to 23, workshops covered investor presentations, funding materials, data rooms and the legal aspects of investment.

For ADC, this work supports a practical ambition: helping educational institutions manage their operations through KLASSCI. Investment preparation helps explain the problem the product solves, how it develops and what resources are needed next.

KLASSCI: connecting the product and the business.

An education solution’s value is measured in teams’ daily work: managing enrolment, tracking payments, organising teaching and producing results. Our role is to turn these needs into a coherent tool and build the conditions for its development.

The week’s discussions helped us work on our presentation, clarify our go-to-market strategy and better connect the product, business model and growth outlook.

A new step after the final pitch.

Following the October 24 pitch, African Digit Consulting is among the ten winners selected for an immersion in Morocco in December 2026. This next step is intended to open discussions with international investors about KLASSCI’s development.

We thank CDC-CI Capital, Agence Emploi Jeunes, Plug and Play Tech Center and the support teams. We continue our work with one priority: improving KLASSCI for educational institutions.

Building a useful product also means preparing the conditions for its growth.
