Oktopi

Oktopi is a cohort-based Teaching Management Platform that allows educators to build advanced online classes with ease.

Qureos, a UAE-based edtech and remote work marketplace that is changing how people upskill and get jobs across the globe, plans to grow the uptake of its platform by 10 times this year in its race to create 100 million jobs over the next few years. The startup has today announced closing a $3 million pre-seed funding to accelerate this growth.

Qureos was founded in August last year by Alexander Epure, Mehrad Yaghmai and Usama Nini in a bid to make mentorship more accessible to individuals that are starting out in their careers, or looking to switch jobs.
The pre-seed round was led by Dubai-based COTU Ventures and New York-based Colle Capital — which helped Swvl go public last week through a special purpose acquisition company.

Colle Capital founder and managing partner Victoria Grace said, “We see tremendous opportunity in Qureos’ mission to bridge knowledge gaps and upskill professionals through leveraging the extraordinary pathway with direct mentorship. Simultaneously, this platform provides a fantastic opportunity for highly-skilled individuals to directly monetize their knowledge, compounded by distinct network effects, and for companies to access high-quality and motivated pools of talent.”

The round also had participation from global and regional investors, including Globivest, Plutus21 Capital, Dubai Angel Investors and AlZayani Venture Capital, as well as a number of angel investors, including current and former leaders of Swvl, Boston Consulting Group, Moelis & Company, Careem, Cisco Systems, Koinz, Message Bird, Bain & Company, Hiperpool, ADNOC and QIA.
