Preparing your experience...
OVC² is building the infrastructure that connects South Africa's learners to real opportunity from Grade 8 onwards. We are looking for partners who believe the system can be fixed and want to be part of fixing it.
Learners targeted in Phase 1 across SA
Founding schools in the North West pilot
Five years of longitudinal learner data tracked
Learners placed in mismatched opportunities we fix this
Estimated annual economic cost of graduate unemployment and skills mismatch in South Africa
South Africa loses learners at every stage of the education pipeline not because they lack potential, but because the system has no infrastructure to surface it. There is no verified record, no aptitude match, no bridge.
OVC² is that bridge. And closing these gaps requires partners who are ready to invest in the infrastructure, not just the outcomes.
Whether you are an investor, an employer, a university, or a foundation there is a partnership model built for the role you want to play.
Equity participation in OVC²'s seed round. Back the infrastructure layer of South Africa's learner ecosystem before it scales nationally.
Access verified, APS-matched learner profiles before anyone else. Source bursary recipients and graduate candidates directly from the pipeline.
Integrate OVC² data infrastructure into provincial or national education outcome reporting. Real learner data, verified and longitudinal.
Deploy OVC² directly into your beneficiary schools. Give the learners you support a verified profile that follows them beyond your programme.
Integrate your tools and services into the OVC² platform via API. Reach schools, learners, and educators through our ecosystem.
Access APS-matched applicants early. Reduce dropout rates by recruiting learners whose profile already aligns with your programme requirements.
We are not pitching a vision. Phase 1 is live. Partners who join now are backing an early-stage platform with proven traction.
8–10 founding schools onboarded in North West. Learner profiles created, APS tracking live, Scholar Arena foundation tested in real classrooms.
Scale to 50+ schools across two provinces. Bursary partner integrations go live. Employer talent pipeline dashboard launched.
200+ schools across five provinces. Scholar Arena national championship first cohort. University applicant matching fully operational.
OVC² becomes the standard learner lifecycle platform in South Africa. Every Grade 8 learner enters with a profile. Every employer can find the right match.
Whether you are exploring investment, building a partnership, or just want to understand the platform we would love to hear from you. Fill in the form and we will be in touch within 48 hours.
