Build the Go-To
Tertiary Education Access Platform for South Africa
J3E Investments is building a new education technology platform designed to help South Africans discover, compare, and apply for tertiary studies, bursaries, learnerships, and online courses — all in one place. We are recruiting a founder-level partner to lead and scale this venture from day one.
- Who This Is For?
You’re a strong fit if you:
- Care deeply about education access and youth outcomes
- Understand the South African education landscape
- Are entrepreneurial, sales-oriented, and execution-driven
- Want to co-own and scale a mission-driven tech business
- The Product (Pre-MVP)
A mobile-first web and app platform that will:
- Aggregate universities, colleges, bursaries, learnerships, and online courses
- Guide users through application pathways
- Introduce AI-assisted discovery and decision support over time
- Monetise through premium services, coaching, and partnerships
This venture is pre-MVP, giving the right co-founder meaningful influence over product, positioning, and execution
South African students face a fragmented, confusing, and often inaccessible education system
This platform aims to become the default starting point for anyone exploring post-school education — locally and, eventually, across the continent

You will become Co-Founder & CEO, responsible for:
- Driving commercial strategy and execution
- Acting as the public face of the platform
- Building partnerships across education providers and institutions
- Shaping product direction alongside J3E
- Leading growth, user acquisition, and monetisation
This is a builder role, not a managerial one
- What J3E Provides
You’re a strong fit if you:

- Venture governance and long-term scaling support
