At Aiducation, we believe that young entrepreneurs hold the power to drive meaningful change in their communities. Through our 1000 Young Entrepreneurs Start-Up Fund, we empower ambitious innovators under 30 with the funding, mentorship, and network they need to turn their ideas into thriving businesses.

One such success story is Mikail Hassan and his co-founder Omar Mahat, winners of the Oracle 2024 Stage 2 Award for their startup, Techloom Ltd. Their venture is revolutionizing education through digital solutions, including automated attendance tracking and fee management systems, designed to enhance efficiency and accountability in schools.

Since its official launch in March 2025, Techloom has already made waves, onboarding 24 paying institutions, primarily Islamic schools and madrassas in Eastleigh and Garissa. But Mikail and Omar aren’t stopping there. Their vision extends beyond Kenya, with plans to expand across Africa, ensuring more educational institutions benefit from their innovative tools.

More Than Just Funding
The 1000 Young Entrepreneurs Start-Up Fund doesn’t just provide financial support; it offers:
✔ Mentorship & Coaching – Guiding entrepreneurs through challenges and growth.
✔ Training & Skill Development – Equipping founders with business acumen and leadership skills.
✔ A Strong Network – Connecting young innovators with like-minded peers and industry leaders.

For Mikail and Omar, this support was transformational. The fund didn’t just help them scale their business; it gave them confidence, knowledge, and connections to turn Techloom into a sustainable, high-impact venture.
