TruNext Incubated AI-Powered EdTech Startup ‘Sow ‘N’ Know’ Raises Seed Funding

Trusity is proud to announce that Louise-Anae Charrier, a standout finalist of its flagship entrepreneurship program, TruPreneurs, has successfully secured her first round of seed funding through an angel investor to advance her innovative AI-powered educational platform, Sow ‘N’ Know. The fundraise was facilitated through TruNext, Trusity’s Dubai SME-certified incubator, and marks a significant milestone as Louise takes her startup to the next level.

Born from the founder’s personal experiences of growing up across different countries and navigating multiple curricula and languages, Sow ‘N’ Know is designed to bridge educational gaps faced by students from diverse backgrounds. The platform offers an inclusive and tech-enabled solution with AI-driven lessons, language learning modules, practice exams, and interactive worksheets, helping learners adapt across various education systems. What sets Sow ‘N’ Know apart is its commitment not just to academic growth, but also to global sustainability and social impact. The platform actively promotes initiatives such as combating deforestation and supporting under-resourced schools, reflecting its vision to foster educational equality and empowerment worldwide.

Louise, a recent IB-MYP graduate from Raffles World Academy (Innoventures Education), credits Trusity’s TruPreneurs program for giving her the tools and confidence to transform her vision into a tangible venture. Through a blend of mentorship, real-world skill-building, investor exposure, and entrepreneurial guidance, she was able to explore areas often left unaddressed in conventional academic settings ranging from financial planning and business modeling to marketing strategy and social impact.

Since completing the TruPreneurs program, Louise has gone on to represent her startup, her school and Trusity at several prestigious events, including GITEX Global, Expand North Star, Dubai AI Everything Summit, Eureka GCC, and the NextGen Youth Festival. She also completed multiple internships, where she gained firsthand experience in content creation, digital storytelling and finance management.

With incubation support from TruNext, Louise has now begun preparing for product development, moving one step closer to launching Sow ‘N’ Know into the hands of students around the world.

“Securing this initial round of funding has been incredibly motivating. It’s a powerful reminder that the idea behind Sow ’N’ Know truly holds value, and that the effort I’ve poured into it is worth it. With this support, I can now begin building the MVP and take a major step toward making the vision real. As a student-founder, this kind of belief not only fuels my progress, it reinforces why I started: to create intentional, empathetic tools that make education more accessible for diverse learners. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”, Louise expressed.

Rajani Nalla, Founder & CEO of Trusity, added: “Louise’s journey reflects exactly what we envisioned when we created the TruPreneurs program—empowering young minds with the tools, confidence, and mindset to build solutions that matter. Her commitment to solving a real-world challenge through innovation, empathy, and sustainability is a proud moment for all of us at Trusity. We are excited to see Sow ‘N’ Know continue its journey through TruNext and make an impact across borders.”
