Our Story

Building for others

We started Capyo after meeting students in classrooms like the one below. Schools with no electricity, no internet, no computers, and a few teachers for hundreds of kids. Just kids who deserved better.

We realized the problem couldn't be solved with just great software. Partial solutions don't work here. So we got to work as a team and figured out how to deploy complete classrooms in less time and money than ever done before.

Our work is better because of who we do it with

We work closely with local experts who know what actually works. Like Jayme Sinclair, who runs Reach Out La Fond in Haiti. Her decades of dedication to children in Haiti inspires us every day. We are lucky to work alongside people like her.

The Capyo way

Three principles we don't compromise on.

Work for the kids

Every decision starts with one question: Does this help students learn?

Move with urgency

While others debate solutions, students age out of school. We deploy in weeks, iterate fast, and refuse to let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

Measure what matters

Learning outcomes, not engagement metrics. If a student can't read better after using Capyo, we failed. Everything else is noise.

"The education space is full of half-measures. Computers sent with no internet. Platforms with no training. Grants that disappear into admin costs. We built Capyo to be the complete solution: hardware, software, connectivity, support so schools stop waiting and kids start learning."
