Company Journey
PRDJY is an online learning, game, and mentorship platform for kids. It took 3 years to build out the website and native apps. The concept was put into Beta in February of 2023 when PRDJY saw a great interest in mentorship signups but a lack of interest on the teacher side. What we learned was that teachers were so fatigued in building courses and content over COVID-19 that they were not keen on creating any more for anyone! We had to replace the teachers' fatigue…..After assessing the opportunity and sitting back and watching what would happen with AI, PRDJY jumped at the opportunity to make a slight pivot, add AI as the educators, children as the educators, and shorten the content to consumable TikTok style reels lengths while focusing on mentorship which is a GAP in the edtech market. The largest edtech companies in the world are in tutoring and online learning. PRDJY decided to become a hybrid of mentorship and online learning, utilizing AI, with shorter consumable content and tackling a segment that doesn’t exist yet! Heck yes!!!
