Egyptian EdTech Platform ”3C Coding School” Secures $3 Million in Seed Funding Led by MRG Economic Group to Fuel Regional Expansion and AI Platform Development
3C Coding School, a premier platform specializing in coding, technology, and artificial intelligence education for children and youth, has officially closed its $3 million Seed funding round. The direct equity investment was spearheaded by MRG Economic Group, led by Egyptian business leader Mahmoud Ramadan, with participation from prominent investor Amr Saad alongside a group of strategic angel investors.
This capital injection marks a major milestone in 3C Coding School's trajectory. It comes on the heels of impressive operational momentum, with the company expanding its user base to over 120,000 students and delivering a 230% surge in revenue. These metrics underscore the booming regional demand for specialized tech education, highlighting the strength of the market opportunity and the scalability of 3C’s underlying model.
Redefining Tech Education: Moving Beyond Traditional Coding
Co-founded in 2015 by engineers Hossam Hosny and Ahmed Khallaf, 3C Coding School was built to disrupt traditional computer science education for young learners. Moving beyond standard code writing and syntax, the platform focuses on fostering higher-order skills, equipping students with structured logical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Over the years, 3C has engineered a comprehensive learning ecosystem featuring diverse educational tracks across cutting-edge fields, including web and mobile app development, data science, AI, machine learning, game development, and cybersecurity.
The school's pedagogical framework centers on hands-on, project-based, and interactive learning. Curricula are carefully tailored to suit distinct age groups and skill levels, ensuring students not only acquire practical coding capabilities but also cultivate a mindset grounded in innovation and continuous inquiry.
To date, 3C has reached more than 120,000 young learners while maintaining a strong financial growth trajectory of 230% in revenue, proving both the efficacy of its curriculum and the growing appetite for specialized digital literacy among youth.
Strategic Roadmap: Saudi Market Expansion & Infrastructure Enhancement
3C Coding School plans to deploy the fresh capital into two core strategic pillars designed to catalyze its next growth phase: expanding into Saudi Arabia and accelerating the deployment of an AI-powered learning platform.
Establishing a Footprint in Saudi Arabia
Regional expansion into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands at the forefront of 3C's immediate goals. The company aims to establish a formidable market presence, capitalizing on the Kingdom’s rapidly accelerating digital economy, burgeoning EdTech sector, and skyrocketing demand for future-ready tech skills.
3C is actively refining its market entry strategy to deliver tailored educational tracks aligned with local requirements. The company plans to leverage strategic local partnerships to rapidly scale its student body and customer base across the Kingdom.
This move forms part of a broader vision to transition 3C from an Egypt-focused market leader into a multinational EdTech powerhouse capable of replicating its model across multiple high-growth Middle Eastern markets.
Next-Generation Tech: AI-Driven Personalized Learning
To redefine the student experience, 3C is channeling a significant portion of the investment into building a state-of-the-art, AI-powered learning platform.
By leveraging proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms, the new platform will analyze individual learning habits, assess real-time progress, support instructors, and dynamically adjust course content to match each student’s unique pace and capabilities.
Through this technological evolution, 3C aims to move past static e-learning formats, delivering an intelligent, highly personalized, and scalable educational framework capable of seamlessly serving millions of students across diverse geographies.
This investment in core infrastructure ensures that 3C's offerings remain data-driven, adaptive, and fully aligned with the fast-moving future of global educational technology.
Growth Highlights at a Glance
3C Coding School’s recent trajectory reflects a powerful growth story in the Middle Eastern tech ecosystem:
o Over 120,000 students empowered across specialized tech tracks.
230% increase in revenue growth.
o Continuous refinement of a scalable, resilient business model since 2015.
o Broad dynamic tracks covering AI, machine learning, software development, and cybersecurity.
o Hands-on, practical, project-centric learning model.
o Strategic shift from local market leadership toward aggressive regional scaling.
Looking ahead, 3C aims to leverage this foundation to solidify its market position, prioritizing Saudi Arabia as its primary growth vector while continuing to innovate at the intersection of AI and education.
A Strategic Turning Point
Reflecting on the company’s trajectory, Hossam Hosny, Founder of 3C Coding School, stated: "When we launched 3C in 2015, we were driven by a core belief that technology would become an indispensable part of every child’s future. Coding isn't just for future software engineers, it is a fundamental medium for teaching kids how to think, innovate, and solve complex problems".
He added: “Over the years, through constant learning and development, we have built a vibrant ecosystem encompassing more than 120,000 students. For us, that number represents far more than market traction; it represents over 120,000 lives impacted and empowered to navigate the future. This funding round marks a strategic turning point, not merely because of the financial backing, but because of the deep confidence our investors have placed in our vision to build a transformative EdTech platform for the entire region".
Hosny highlighted that securing institutional backing from MRG Economic Group, led by Mahmoud Ramadan, alongside Amr Saad and leading angel investors, brings far more than capital. It supplies strategic depth, market access, and valuable industry expertise necessary for large-scale expansion.
"We don't view the next phase as simple geographic expansion," Hosny added. "It is an opportunity to reinvent how the next generation interacts with and learns technology. That is why AI development lies at the very heart of our forward-looking strategy. Our ultimate mission is to bring accessible, high-impact tech education to millions of young minds across the region, transforming them from mere consumers of technology into the creators and innovators of tomorrow".
Stepping Into an Ambitious New Chapter
Echoing this enthusiasm, Ahmed Khallaf, Co-Founder of 3C Coding School, noted: "Securing a $3 million Seed round is a landmark milestone for 3C. However, we see this investment not as a final destination, but as the launching pad for an even more ambitious chapter in our journey".
Khallaf underscored that since day one, 3C's mission transcended standard coding instruction, striving instead to reshape how young minds approach challenges and harness technology to shape their world.
He pointed out that reaching 120,000 students and driving 230% revenue growth validates the strong market demand for high-caliber tech education across Egypt and the broader MENA region.
"This strategic investment, led by MRG Economic Group and our esteemed investment partners, gives us the firepower to accelerate our technical infrastructure, elevate our core product offerings, enter the Saudi market, and fast-track the deployment of our AI platform," Khallaf concluded. "The future of education will be personalized, intelligent, and deeply integrated with technology. 3C is committed to leading that transformation, building one of the region's top EdTech platforms, and equipping millions of students with the critical skills required to excel in a rapidly evolving digital world".
