Early in our journey, EdTrust took an important step: we joined RedStart Tunisie, one of the country's leading startup acceleration ecosystems.
For a young company building tools to digitize schools, the right support at the right moment makes all the difference. RedStart offered exactly that — a structured environment to sharpen our strategy, strengthen our operations, and connect with the people who could help us grow.
Who is RedStart Tunisie?
RedStart Tunisie is an acceleration ecosystem that supports startups and SMEs across Tunisia. Rather than a one-size-fits-all programme, it provides tailored strategic and operational support, built around each company's goals. Its offer spans several areas:
- RedAccélération — custom acceleration programmes focused on fundraising, open innovation, commercial growth, and internationalization
- RedSpace — equipped coworking spaces and meeting rooms
- RedAcademy — short training courses that build the skills of founders and teams
- RedEvents — meetups, thematic events, and conferences that connect the ecosystem
RedStart also runs mission-driven programmes — such as Women Go Green and Jeun'ess — and partners with international organizations including the UNDP, the EU, AFD, and GIZ. It is a member of the United Nations' Business Call to Action initiative.
What it means for EdTrust
Joining RedStart gave EdTrust access to:
- Personalized mentoring from national and international experts
- Strategic and operational guidance tailored to our roadmap
- Connections to investors and business-angel networks in Tunisia and beyond
- A community of founders solving hard problems
More than any single resource, it gave us momentum — and the confidence that comes from building alongside people who believe in what you're doing.
Looking ahead
EdTrust's mission is simple: bring modern, AI-powered tools to schools across Tunisia, Africa, and the Middle East, and make running a school calmer and more connected. The support of partners like RedStart helps us get there faster.
This was one of the earliest chapters in the EdTrust story — and a foundation we've kept building on ever since.
