Cakap Is Turning Indonesia's Language Gap Into a Skills Business
The Jakarta company started with live language lessons. Now it sells a broader promise: skills that travel from the classroom to the workplace.
Edunation LTD
Edunation LTD is a Jordan-founded education technology company behind EdunationOS, a cloud-based platform that consolidates a school's academic, administrative, financial and wellbeing systems into one connected ecosystem. Built for K-12 and higher-education institutions across the Middle East, it supports multiple campuses, multiple curricula and 24 languages, blending physical and virtual learning. Founded in 2013 by Firas Jabbour and Mahmud Gabareen, the company raised a $3 million round in 2021 and serves schools across Jordan, Palestine, the Gulf and beyond.
Zenius
Zenius was Indonesia's pioneering education-technology company, founded in 2004 as a Jakarta tutoring center and reborn in 2010 as one of the country's first video-based learning platforms. Built around founder Sabda PS's belief that education should teach fundamental skills and critical thinking rather than rote memorization, Zenius grew into a digital learning ecosystem with a library of more than 100,000 video lessons, a large UTBK question bank, AI-powered tools like ZenCore and ZenBot, and live classes. After acquiring legacy tutoring brand Primagama in 2022 to push into hybrid learning, the company struggled with the post-pandemic funding downturn and suspended operations in January 2024 after roughly 20 years.
Classera
Classera is an edtech company that runs a cloud-based Learning Super Platform used across K-12 schools, universities, and corporate and government training programs. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco with deep roots in the MENA region, it pairs a core learning management system with gamification, AI-driven personalization, virtual-reality content, an educational marketplace (Edumalls), and embedded payments (C-Pay). The platform serves more than 12 million users in over 40 countries and, in October 2022, raised a $40M Series A led by Sanabil Investments - reportedly the largest edtech funding round in MENA and most of Africa.
Everest Education
Everest Education (E2) is a Ho Chi Minh City-based edtech company founded in 2011 that prepares Vietnamese students from Grade 1 to Grade 12 for international academic environments. Combining its own classroom-management software with in-person learning centers, it offers Math and English enrichment, test preparation, private tutoring, and college-admissions consulting through a blended-learning model. The company has recorded more than 12,000 enrollments and raised roughly $5.4M, including a $4M Series B led by Hendale Capital.
