From a University reject to the founder of an Edtech startup that makes learning accessible to children around the world, this is the journey of Edwin Ho Yuan Yi, 29, Bachelor of Science in Finance graduate.
For over five years, Edwin had applied to various universities but was rejected multiple times until he was accepted by SUSS in 2017. Empathising with those who face similar challenges in their road to education, Edwin conceived the idea of enabling learning for students in areas with poor connectivity, allowing them to cope with academic demands during the pandemic 😷.
He is currently piloting their product with NGOs and schools in South Africa, Kenya and Thailand. His brainchild has earned him the StartupSG Founder Grant of S$50,000 and he has since launched several social initiatives for underprivileged children.
Well done, Edwin, and Congratulations on your graduation! 👏
