Company mission
To radically change the way people learn, with a primary focus on the Middle East, where the company has its roots and where the need and urgency to improve education are highest. We're building a network of modern schools with over 12 million students, supported by top teachers and with technology at its heart.
Our take
Initially founded as a test prep website in 2013, Noon has grown to become a deeply comprehensive social learning platform that enables students to study with a group of friends, compete against one another, and even join teacher-led classes.
The company empowers over 100k teachers and 12M students across 8 countries to further their knowledge and advance their skills through its unique, interactive platform. Noon opened a new office in London, strengthening its position as an up-and-coming leader in the industry.
Noon is one of the top 10 most funded ed-tech startups in the MENA region and enjoyed a $40 million Series B in 2023. The company has its sights set on global expansion over the next two to three years, whilst enhancing its AI solutions.
