Building the Future of Education
We're on a mission to revolutionize how SADC students learn, study, and succeed. Prysm isn't just another app—it's your complete academic operating system.
Who We Are
Prysm is an innovative education technology company founded with a singular vision: to centralize and simplify the academic journey for millions of students across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Born from the frustration of juggling multiple apps, scattered notes, and fragmented study resources, Prysm represents the first truly unified platform designed specifically for African students. We understand the unique challenges students face—from accessing curriculum-specific exam papers to managing complex study schedules across different syllabuses.
Our platform harnesses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to provide intelligent insights, automate tedious tasks, and deliver personalized learning experiences that adapt to each student's unique needs and learning style.
Our Mission
To empower every SADC student with intelligent, centralized tools that eliminate academic friction, streamline learning workflows, and unlock their full potential. We believe that access to organized, AI-enhanced educational resources should be universal, not a privilege.
By integrating exam preparation, note-taking, scheduling, and study analytics into one cohesive platform, we're not just building software—we're building the foundation for academic excellence across the region.
Our Vision
To become the definitive educational operating system for African students, recognized as the platform that transformed how millions of learners prepare for exams, organize their studies, and achieve academic success.
We envision a future where every student has instant access to curriculum-aligned resources, AI-powered study recommendations, and collaborative tools that make learning intuitive, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable.
How It All Started
The Problem
As students ourselves, we experienced firsthand the chaos of academic life. Notes scattered across Google Drive, exam papers buried in WhatsApp groups, study schedules scribbled on paper, and no single source of truth for curriculum-specific resources. We spent more time organizing than actually studying.
The Solution
We realized that what students needed wasn't another app—it was a complete ecosystem. A unified platform that combines AI-powered insights with intuitive design, specifically tailored to SADC curricula. Thus, Prysm was born: the Ultimate Student OS that centralizes everything you need to succeed.
The Future
Launching in February 2026, Prysm will begin its journey to transform education across Southern Africa. With Phase 1 focusing on core tools and Phase 3 expanding to mobile apps and parent dashboards, we're building not just for today, but for the next generation of students.
