uLesson is an African EdTech company which provides educational contents for schools, organizations and live lessons for high school students. Its best-known for it's STEM educational contents such as it's coding school, live lessons for mathematics and science, practical questions and quizzes under STEM courses. Founded by Nigerian serial founder Sim Shagaya in 2019, uLesson came into the market when the pandemic in the 2021. As a young company, it has had to switch business models a couple of times to see what sticks in a very tough African market. uLesson introduced new features for an all-encompassing edtech play for this demographic. It added quizzes and a homework help feature to connect students with tutors from universities. The company also launched a one-to-many live class feature with polls and leaderboards and a one-to-one live experience for DevKids, a coding class independent of the core uLesson platform.

DevKids has since been rolled back, though uLesson is making efforts to introduce the feature, which started as an experiment in teaching kids how to code and at some point made 30% of the company’s revenues. uLesson is looking forward in introducing this feature by January next year.
