About

In addition to regular school work, the startup also offers local language classes. “I was looking at India because they are really advanced, and have some big companies like Byju leading the edtech revolution. Teesas, which was launched less than two months ago, has had a rapid takeoff, leading to a successful $1.6 million pre-seed funding round. Already Teesas has over 150,000 downloads at the Google Play store, where we are now growing by at least 20% every week,” Izedonmwen told TechCrunch.
