Nigerian gaming-anchored ed-tech startup Quizac has been acquired by investment firm Tekedia Capital.
The self-styled “playground for engaged learning”, Quizac allows users to start a quiz game from its thousands of question sets, or create their own set for free.
The aim of the startup, according to its founders, is to “infuse learning with the same excitement and engagement that social media brings”.
“Having witnessed the shift from a pre-internet era to a social media-driven world, we recognised the need for an educational platform that could compete for students’ attention in this new age,” they said.
Quizac was thus designed to empower students, offering them an engaging alternative. It has now been acquired by Tekedia Capital, which will integrate the platform into the Tekedia ecosystem, gaining access to Tekedia’s extensive data assets and resources, which includes Tekedia Institute, the home of Tekedia Mini-MBA.
