PersonaRise
PersonaRise is a human capacity development company that equips individuals with technical skills and non-technical skills needed for growth.
PersonaRise is an edTech startup that makes learning new skills easier and job search simpler, less complicated and stressful.
Our goal is to help anyone learn new highly demanded skills, increase their standard of living and radically boost their income this year and beyond.
PersonaRise is developing cutting-edge software for learning & development (L&D). As we grow, we will continue to penetrate countries, we will keep improving our software to make online education cheaper and available for everyone.
We implement a smart AI system that helps learners create an interview-ready resume or CV and automatically determine which skills or possible careers learners will thrive in based on their behavioural characteristics.
We took a survey and asked online learners about their challenges in using their current online learning platforms and what they don't like about the platform they use.
90% of survey respondents said, "poor internet connection, data and lengthy video were the major problems penned by these respondents when they're taking a course online".
Over 2 billion people globally are left behind because they have no access to stable home internet according to a new joint report from UNICEF and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
This means over 2 billion people are faced with the problem of poor internet connection globally.
This results in 90% of online learners abandoning their courses and not completing them - thereby resulting from low talent quality in the workforce.

PersonaRise is developing cutting-edge software for learning & development (L&D). Our software gives these users the ability to download these skills-based courses offline and take them on the go, our system also provides users with the closest location in which they can access an internet facility (cafe) to resolve their network issues and our course contents are very short and precise.
As we grow, we will be investing in developing hardware technologies that will allow learners in remote areas to access our skills-based content and other educational materials in the future.

In the past, one of our founders Emmanuel Isika has worked with two EdTech companies in Nigeria and India and he has industrial experience in the industry.
In 2021, He kicked off the Skill Up Program under YIEE where candidates from over 5 countries in Africa including Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Namibia and Kenya were represented as fellow willing to transition into tech. One major challenge faced was due to the inability of these fellows to fund their internet connection.
PersonaRise materialised afterwards.
PersonaRise is constantly engaging with our users through surveys on our product and what features they want us to build. This is a sign that we will be a success because brands who care about their customers never fail.
- Improving learning opportunities and outcomes for learners across their lifetimes, from early childhood on (Learning)
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
After discovering the problem, Emmanuel quickly acts on it by drafting a solution and speaking with friends who are now co-founder on building the solution.
After finalizing the minimum viable product flow, PersonaRise hired a product designer to develop the prototype design.
We're currently developing the prototype while running a survey to reach 1000 customers to understand their needs and build a product they love.
PersonaRise has launched a waiting list to complement all marketing efforts too.
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)

In the next 18 months, we look at serving 60, 000 people.
We aimed at helping 60, 000 people learn new in-demand skills and connect them to job opportunities.
We will reach these numbers through events and partnerships with various corporate bodies and businesses and full-stack marketing.
Some important metrics we are concerned about are:
1. The number of users we have.
2. The number of monthly active learners.
3. The number of users who completed their coursework.
4. The number of users who are able to get decent green jobs. This will be tracked through feedback or surveying users who completed coursework after a period of time.
Through these metrics, we will be able to attain quality education and track our progress in making education of quality and ensuring learning never ends.
Our major barrier is in terms of mentors or advisors and publicity.
We need the support of media and newspapers to reach a greater level of audiences but we are yet to.
Also, partnership with the internet service provider in providing internet support for underserved learners hasn't proved successful as we are yet to receive a reply to our letters sent to MTN which is the top internet service provider in Nigeria.
We also need the support of a legal expert to help us navigate the policies in the country and build a brand free of government restrictions.
Lastly, we are asking for $100k to put into product develop, salaries and marketing.
We are capable of executing this project because:
We are a team of 3 co-founders with complementary skills.
Emmanuel has over 2 years of experience in growth hacking/marketing. Driving Growth for startups. He has over 1-year experience in a non-profit startup and has worked with a UN agency as an IT Lead and a Growth Hacker at Bitnob and ForeignAdmits.
Ayomide has over 3 years of experience in software engineering and mobile app development in fast-paced startups.
Toyeeb has over 2 years of experience in UI/UX design. He has worked with UN Ebafosa and other fast-paced startups.
The 3 co-founders were able to deliver software that connects farmers to market for the UN Ebafosa called Ebapreneur Solution.
So, we can deliver on this.
