LeapED

LeapED is an Edtech/Fintech startup based in Singapore with a focus on helping high potential students access quality tertiary education in Southeast Asia. The company addresses the challenges in the student-financing sector in South-East Asia, characterized by low enrolment rates and high drop-out rates amidst booming economies. LeapED offers a unique financial product tailored to the needs of students in the form of a long-term Income Share Agreement (ISA), where students only start repaying once they begin earning. This innovative approach provides flexibility as students pay a percentage of their income instead of fixed installments. Moreover, LeapED utilizes proprietary technology to identify and support the best talent, including a screening platform based on situational simulations and a mentoring platform to enhance engagement, reduce drop-out rates, and improve employability.

The startup's mission is to enable deserving students to achieve their educational aspirations and become valuable contributors to society. With the potential to disrupt the student-financing landscape in South-East Asia, LeapED presents an opportunity for investors seeking to support advancements in education and finance within the region. As the company continues to develop and grow, it has the potential to make a significant impact on the accessibility and quality of tertiary education in the region, making it an attractive prospect for potential venture capital investment.
