Book summary and education platform Akhdar has raised a six figure sum from Nahdet Misr Publishing House’s venture capital arm, EdVentures, to add new learning tools to its app and improve its user interface, Wamda reports. EdVentures’ seed funding will be used to create an interactive gaming function and “to enrich the readers community with a smart and fun learning experience,” said EdVentures founder and Nahdet Misr CEO Dalia Ibrahim. Akhdar, which was founded in 2017, offers simplified audio and video explainers for “people who don’t have time to read,” according to co-founder Mohamed Osama. Akhdar currently offers educational resources for books across 16 genres.
