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 2.9 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 since the closing of the IPO (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 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 expansion. They
include: Education Angels, which provides early learning in New
Zealand for children from 0-5 years old; E-Squared Education, which
provides primary and secondary school education in South Africa;
the University of Antelope Valley, which provides vocational
certifications and university business and masters’ degrees in
California, USA; and Property Investors Network, which provides
property investment courses and events in England, UK.
Genius Group’s post-IPO 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.
