For education founders in South Africa
You know what the classroom needs. We help shape and build the product.
For teachers, therapists, tutors and the people who run education businesses. We help you shape the product and build a first version, while you keep running your practice.
A short call, no preparation. Bring the mark sheet you have kept for years.
Built for the practitioner who knows the problem.
If one of these is yours, people have asked to use it, and you have the funds and the final say, we should talk.
- A tracking or reporting tool you have kept in spreadsheets for years.
- A parent or learner workflow that lives in WhatsApp groups and email.
- An enrolment or scheduling process you still run by hand, every term.
Four steps, one team.
From the first call to a product your users rely on, and you always know what the next step produces.

Products we shaped and built with other founders.
Proking Solutions made designing our new platform effortless. They were efficient, easy to work with, and consistently delivered results that exceeded expectations, often anticipating our needs without lengthy explanations. I'm looking forward to continuing to develop our product with them.
The questions education founders ask.
Something else on your mind? Ask it on the call, or email hi@proking.solutions.
I am a teacher, not a tech person. Is that a problem?
No. That is the point. You bring the classroom, the practice or the business. We help shape the product, then handle design, development and launch, and explain everything in plain language.
Have you built for education before?
Not yet. Our products so far are in rental property, compliance screening, utility bills and brand marketing. What carries across is how we work: a clear workflow, useful functionality, and attention to how it feels to use. The education knowledge is yours.
My users would be schools. Does that count as government work?
No. The exclusion is about who commissions Proking, not who ends up using your product. A private founder building for schools is a good fit. If a public body would have to approve the engagement itself, that is the part we avoid.
What does it cost?
Planning is paid, and the Build is quoted after Planning once the scope is clear. Both are explained on the call, and you can stop after Planning.
I already tried building it with a no-code or AI tool.
Bring it. Planning assesses what can be kept, improved or rebuilt. Nothing that still works is thrown away for the sake of it.
Bring the problem you see every day.
A short call to see whether Planning is the right next step. No preparation needed, and nothing is signed on the call.
