We help talents succeed by investing in their education

Our mission is to enable talents around the world to pursue the education they deserve, irrespective of their financial or social background.

We don’t lend to talents, we invest in them

We are not just another lender. We invest in talents and nurture them to achieve their full potential with the right education and much needed coaching. Once they are set on a path to success and start earning, they share a reasonable portion of their revenues for a limited time frame. This enables us to make this model scalable and widen our reach and impact.

We have the means to achieve our ambition

We rallied a team of exceptional talents, investors and advisors to make our vision a reality. Our team comes from top firms like McKinsey, FTI and has already been recognized by Forbes as one of the hottest startups. 

We are lucky to be backed by world-renowned investors around the world like Plug and Play and 500Startups. We are also advised by exceptional experts in education like Olivier Giscard d’Esteign, the founding dean of INSEAD

Most importantly, we understand these pains because we lived them.

Amine Bounoughaz
Co-founder and COO - Ex McKinsey

Amine followed his passion and left a comfortable corporate job at McKinsey to co-found Edbridg because he experienced first-hand the struggle of financing his education. 

“I was denied funding by more than 10 banks, despite being admitted to Duke University, only because I was an international student. I was blessed with a Fulbright scholarship that changed my life, but thousands of talents are denied that opportunity just because they don’t have a co-signer”

Walid Behar
Co-founder and CEO – ex Delta Partners

Walid found inspiration for Edbridg from of his own struggles to pay back his education loan. Graduated during the financial crisis, Walid’s dream was to be an M&A banker.

“My dream was to pursue an M&A career. Having graduated during the economic crisis , it took almost a year to find my dream job. I felt the burden of having a student loan: my bank did not care that I was employed or not, they only cared about getting paid”
