3C CodnEgyptian EdTech startup 3C Coding School has raised USD 3 million in a seed round led by MRG Economic Group. The round also saw participation from investor Amr Saad and a group of angel investors. Moreover, it plans to use the funding to enter Saudi Arabia and develop an AI-powered learning platform.

Why You Should Care

The round comes as demand for technology education continues to grow across the region, particularly around coding, artificial intelligence, and other digital skills.

For 3C, the funding marks a shift from building its base in Egypt toward regional expansion. The company says it has reached more than 120,000 students and recorded 230% revenue growth, providing the foundation for its next phase of expansion.

Saudi Arabia will be a key target, while investment in AI infrastructure could change how the platform personalizes learning as its student base grows.

The Details

Founded in 2015 by Hossam Hosny and Ahmed Khallaf, 3C Coding School is an edtech platform. It specializes in coding, technology, and artificial intelligence education for children and youth. Its programs cover areas including web and mobile development, data science, AI, machine learning, game development, and cybersecurity.

Rather than focusing only on coding syntax, its approach is built around project-based and interactive learning. This is with an emphasis on logical reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 

Looking ahead, with the new funding, it aims to expand into Saudi Arabia. It also seeks to accelerate the deployment of an AI-powered learning platform.

In its expansion to Saudi Arabia, it aims to establish a formidable market presence. It also seeks to capitalize on the Kingdom’s rapidly accelerating digital economy and EdTech sector. Additionally,  it plans to leverage local partnerships to rapidly scale its student body and customer base across the Kingdom.

In the development of its AI-powered learning platform, it aims to use it to analyze individual learning habits. It also aims to assess real-time progress, support instructors, and dynamically adjust course content to match each student’s unique pace and capabilities.

The Ripple

3C’s expansion reflects a broader push by regional EdTech companies to build technology-focused education models around the growing demand for digital skills.

Its planned Saudi entry also adds to the movement of Egyptian technology companies into Gulf markets. This comes at a time where education and workforce development are increasingly linked to wider digital transformation agendas.

The AI component could become the more consequential part of the company’s next phase. If deployed at scale, personalized learning tools could allow education platforms to serve larger student populations while adapting content to different levels of ability and progress.

What to Watch

The next signals will be 3C’s entry into Saudi Arabia, the partnerships it establishes locally, and the rollout of its AI learning platform.

The company’s ability to translate its existing student and revenue growth into a larger regional operation will determine how effectively the new capital supports its move beyond Egypt.
