About Genius Group
Genius Group is a world-leading entrepreneur
Edtech and education group, with a mission to disrupt the current
education model with a student-centered, life-long learning
curriculum that prepares students with the leadership,
entrepreneurial and life skills to succeed in today’s market. The
group has over 2.7 million students in 200 countries, ranging
from ages 0 to 100. The group includes four pre-IPO companies (the
“Pre-IPO Group”), and four companies acquired at the time of, or
shortly after, the closing of the company’s initial public offering
(the “IPO Acquisitions”).
The entrepreneur
education system of our Pre-IPO Group has been delivered virtually
and in-person, in multiple languages, locally and globally mainly
via the Pre-IPO Group’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered,
personalized GeniusU Edtech platform to adults seeking to grow
their entrepreneur and leadership skills.
The Pre-IPO Group includes Genius Group,
GeniusU, Entrepreneurs Institute and Entrepreneur Resorts. This
group of entrepreneur education companies has grown through organic
growth and acquisitions, with a focus on adding value to each
company through GeniusU, which is being developed to provide
AI-driven personal recommendations and guidance for each student.
The Pre-IPO Group is now expanding its education system to age
groups beyond its current adult audience, to children and young
adults. The four IPO Acquisitions are the first step towards this.
They include: Education Angels, which provides early learning in
New Zealand for children from 0-5 years old; E-Square, which
provides primary and secondary school education in South Africa;
University of Antelope Valley, which provides vocational
certifications and university degrees in California, USA; and
Property Investors Network, which provides property investment
courses and events in England.
Genius Group’s current plan is to combine the
education programs of the IPO Acquisitions with its current
education programs and Edtech platform as part of one lifelong
learning system, and it has selected these acquisitions because
they already share aspects of the Genius curriculum and its focus
on entrepreneur education.
