- Published on WAC News
3C Coding School, an Egyptian education technology company that teaches programming and technology skills to children and young people, has raised $3 million in a seed funding round, according to a report dated September 2, 2026. The round was led by MRG Economic Group.
Strategic angel investors also took part in the round. The company plans to use the money to enter the Saudi Arabian market, strengthen its technology infrastructure and build a personalized learning platform based on artificial intelligence. That platform is intended to analyze how individual students learn, give support to instructors and adjust course content to each learner's pace and ability.
Founded in 2015, 3C offers programs in software development, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, game development and cybersecurity. Its teaching is built around hands-on, project-based work that aims to develop logical reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking rather than focusing only on the syntax of programming languages. The company reports that it has taught more than 120,000 students and recorded revenue growth of 230 percent. Saudi Arabia is the new market named in the report.
Why it matters
The funding supports coding and technology training for school-age learners in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, an area tied to future digital workforce skills.
