🎬 Story angles

🌎

The education gap story

272 million children worldwide have no access to education. In Sub-Saharan Africa, only 22 out of 50 countries have textbooks in local languages. ORBITECH is filling the gap with AI-generated content in languages like Hausa, Khmer, Tigrinya, and Kinyarwanda — languages where zero educational content exists online.

🚀

The young founder story

Founded in Lille, France by a young entrepreneur who decided that 272 million children without education was not an acceptable number. No investors, no board, no compromise. A mission-driven company in a profit-driven world.

🤖

The technology for equity story

While the tech industry debates disruption, ORBITECH uses cutting-edge technology to create educational content for the world's most underserved communities. Technology as a tool for equity, not exploitation.

💥

The anti-Silicon Valley story

No VC funding. No growth hacking. No user data. No premium paywall. A platform that breaks every rule of the startup playbook and asks a radical question: what if education was just... free?

💬

The language justice story

80 million people speak Hausa. Before ORBITECH, there was virtually zero structured educational content in Hausa online. The same is true for dozens of languages spoken by hundreds of millions. This is about linguistic equity in the digital age.

💬 Quotes you can use

A student in Niger walks 3 hours to reach a classroom with 90 students, no chairs, and no textbook. But he has access to a phone. Tomorrow, he has ORBITECH.
