About Craydel 

Craydel (www.craydel.com)  is Africa’s most learner-centric and trusted higher education platform. We are on a mission to digitize the operating system for African learners to search, match and apply to their best-fit higher education.

What we are solving: 

16+ million African students spent an estimated $30+ billion on higher education last year. But the system is broken.  Craydel is on a mission to fix this!

With Craydel, students and working professionals across Africa can: 

• Search from 30,000+ programs and courses from 400+ higher education institutions across 20+ countries; 
• Match to their best fit higher education with personalized recommendations based on psychometrics, institution preferences, grades, budgets and desired career outcomes; and 
• Apply entirely online and receive end-to-end support from application to enrollment from an expert admissions counselor. 

Craydel was founded in 2021 by a diverse and highly experienced founding team with a proven track record in building and investing in high-growth businesses in Africa, including two successful B2B SaaS start-ups.  

Craydel is backed by a group of top-notch venture capital investors from Silicon Valley, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa; and founders and top executives from some of Africa’s leading SaaS, E-commerce, and education start-ups.
