Our mission is to make high quality education affordable.
It costs more to provide great education than what tuition can cover. Schools have to fundraise to cover the difference. Almabase empowers schools around the world to grow their alumni donations by improving engagement.
Schools using Almabase have happier alumni because they see that their school is continuing to add value to them even after they've graduated. Schools are happier because they are able to improve engagement and donations. Current students are happier because their education is being subsidised and they now have access to an alumni community that's willing to help them succeed.

SocialHeart is an online marketplace for NGOs and other social enterprises to sell their creations. We worked with various social enterprises to create products that customers wanted. Our customers not only liked the products but also wanted to be part of contributing to a social cause while buying these products. The profits made by NGOs by selling these products were used to grow themselves and impact more lives.
Although the model started to work and both sides of the marketplace saw the benefit it became tough for our team to scale it up. The model is not sustainable without scale and therefore we eventually had to wind it up
