What comes to mind when you think of an eagle? An overachiever, a dreamer, a doer? This announcement has been a long time coming, but we’re finally ready to share it with you.
Back in 2019, during the pandemic, we poured our hearts and souls into building a full-time, community-based ed-tech app. Our goal was to create a space for talented dreamers to shine. It was a true labor of love. We worked so hard, and by the time we were ready to launch, we had over 500 sign-ups. It was an incredible start, but the vision was bigger than the funding we had, and we couldn’t continue.
But the tenacity of the eagle, which was a symbol in our logo, was a part of our spirit, and we refused to give up. We dreamed it, we lived it, and we breathed it. That’s why we built Tech Lead Global.
Tech Lead Global is a similar concept to our old model, eschoolfinder. We are building a community of dreamers and bold achievers, but this time, everyone is both a teacher and a learner. We believe that to be a great teacher, you must also be a great learner.
This is where our Tech Lead framework comes in. It’s a personal development framework for young dreamers who want to become tech leaders on the global stage. And we’re not alone in this mission. Our non-profit, Black Tech Lead, which started just last year, has already achieved remarkable things.
Tech Lead Global is the main engine behind our vision. We will continue to build the community needed to raise eagles who will tech-lead on the global stage. Meanwhile, Black Tech Lead will focus on training those dreamers from Africa to become global leaders.
You may be asking, “Why do you keep building on eschoolfinder?” The answer is simple: this dream didn’t start today. It started five years ago with eschoolfinder and has now evolved into a leadership community. We wanted you to see the hard work we’ve poured into this vision so you can understand why we are so committed to our promise of reaching over 500 million Africans, one tech leader at a time.
