— ABOUT AskEd
Built by people who've lived the problem
Two HE insiders who spent years watching universities lose prospective students every night — and decided to build the solution.
AskEd was founded in November 2025.
2025
Early prototype built and validated with leading universities. The idea was simple: no prospective student should go unanswered because a team was offline.
2026
First MVP pilot launched. Real student conversations. Real results. Momentum built fast.
Funding round opened. Accepted into the Go-Together EdTech programme. 12 months of runway secured to build the platform properly.
2026
Building a category-defining voice AI platform for education. The first assistant that genuinely never clocks off.
Built by people who know education
Decades of combined experience in higher education, EdTech, and international student recruitment.
