Why I built Adeo—the self prep app in your pocket
January, 2020. The news of a pandemic spreading across the globe. Uncertainty and anxiety was palpable as I took a walk just before sunset.
Fast forward to March , 2020, school administrators kept calling my phone . I am Victor Adatsi , formerly of eCoach, this is my job and it is only natural that many heads of schools had my number. They needed a solution.
Something to help them run schools remotely because schools could no longer operate in the traditional way. Everywhere, in mum and dad groups, PTA groups, everyone was looking for alternatives. No one knew when schools would resume. There was no end in sight. No one had experienced a pandemic on this scale. The future was uncertain.
Back to why some heads of schools were calling.
My former startup, eCoach was an ed-tech company which for many years had sold educational products to schools and students across Ghana. Surely , Victor should have a solution , they said but unfortunately Victor had decided to walk away from edtech in 2018 to try something else, something different.
Well, after a couple of years I found myself back into edtech. As the saying goes, there is nothing like your first love. I was too passionate about education to let it go completely. As I was pondering over a return to edtech, the pandemic hit and the calls followed. We also noticed a spike in users on our old platform.
Covid even though terrible, shook the foundations of education and the perception of remote learning. This made the schools more receptive to the idea of eLearning. I decided to go back to the drawing board and restrategize. What we desperately needed was a complete overhaul. A new team was needed to build adeo..
Naming the company
My close colleague who I worked with for many years became the younger brother I never had, being the last child of my parents. George Adeo Felix Olympio and I became really close and we would spend hours online working. Unfortunately Olympio left us to be with the Lord in 2020. It was certainly a very devastating moment for me.
I always envisioned working with him for the rest of our lives but the Lord needed him. This company and our product is named after him . Adeo (Latin) is a gift from God. The ideas that were put together to form this product were gifts from God and I am certain it will offer students the best exam prep experience.
