Edukasyon.ph

Edukasyon.ph operates as a social enterprise in the Philippines, functioning as a comprehensive online marketplace for education services. The company was founded in 2015 by Henry Motte-Muñoz, a French-Filipino business leader with a background in economics and finance from the London School of Economics and Harvard Business School. The idea originated in 2012 from his personal experience witnessing a cousin's difficulty in navigating the college application process in the Philippines, which highlighted a significant information gap. After researching the concept while working in London, Motte-Muñoz moved to Manila to establish the platform, aiming to address the high rates of student dropouts and youth unemployment.

The platform primarily serves Filipino students, particularly the Gen Z youth aged 13 to 24, providing them with a centralized database of educational opportunities. Its core service connects students with over 13,000 schools, 80,000 courses, and thousands of scholarships, both locally and internationally. For its institutional clients—schools, corporations, and foundations—Edukasyon.ph functions as a B2B lead generation tool, enabling them to create school profiles, engage with a student community of 8 million, and process applications directly through the platform. Revenue is generated through this B2B division, which achieved profitability following its Series A funding round in 2020. The company has secured $3.37M in total funding over seven rounds from investors such as KSR Ventures, Lorinet Foundation, and Bisk Ventures.

Edukasyon.ph has expanded its product portfolio into three main verticals. The "Finder" (or "Explore") service offers college and career counseling, allowing students to search and filter options based on location, cost, and career pathways. "Advance" provides future skills training through online courses, while "EDGE Tutor" is an online K-12 tutoring service for English and Math, launched to address the demand for academic support. The platform also engages in social impact initiatives, such as career clinics and projects like "Yaring Pinay" to promote gender diversity in technical-vocational training. In 2020, Grace David took over as CEO, continuing the mission to guide students from education to employment.
