Scaling:

The main goal in Bangladesh will be to ensure the progress of the first batch of students financedby Bank Asia and build out an organization and close partnerships to enroll more students ona “sponsored”, “free” and “paid” program. Furthermore, the aim is to establishan online content media strategy to drive engagement through the full student life cycle.

A development team of 6 to build out our online platform to go fully “online” in terms of online learningfrom May 2015. We will be adding more developers to the team to speed up the platform developmentas a requirement for online learning and scaling the number of students.

We’re signing a partnership with PlanetFinance to,1) secure creditline for 100.000 students in Bangladesh and beyond, 2) close deals with impact investors for a global roll-out,3) Raise a series A round and4) establish strong local partnerships for local penetration and expansion.

Organizing our CodersTrust franchise package which is currently being used by CT India, CT MENAand CT Africa to identify local partners to roll out CodersTrust when we are ready.

Aligning our IT-, Businessand Operational strategies

Execution

We will plug into existingdevelopment forums and existingopen source platforms to reachthe level of robustness that we’relooking for. The architectureof the ultimate platform will standon the shoulder of three main giants:1) MIFOS banking platform –open source development framework2) Open edX educational platform -open source development framework3) Odesk/elance/Freelancer.com APIs

By building on "top" of open sourcenetworks such as MIFOS andOpen edX, we have an existingIT platform to leverage, a globalnetwork of developers, an ITenabled distribution channelto MFIs and educational contentproviders worldwide and platformsthat can be served by our students.

Our API will enable banks,educational providers orinternal/external labor markets/HRto plug into our system to provideeither financial, educationalor labor services in whatever niche,geography or sector.
