WHO ARE WE?

Story of Kunduz
The seeds of Kunduz were sown in a boarding school in Turkey. We, three friends, met in the high school. We prepared for the university entrance exam, taken by millions of students every year, at this school, and we all made our way to study at the most selective engineering program in the country.
Power of Access to Instant Help
Seeing how access to instant help and quality education in this small school, with students from every walk of life, can actually transform everyone's lives is what brought us together to found Kunduz. Many of our high school and college friends, along with many passionate education enthusiasts, joined us on this journey of change.
OUR DREAM
Personalized education for all.
At Kunduz, we firmly believe that every young person possesses a unique and world-changing purpose within them. The more unique this purpose is, the more personalized their learning path and the education they require should be so they can unleash their potential to achieve their goals. We understand that providing the same education to every young person and expecting equal development is unrealistic. Instead, we offer them the opportunity to receive the education only themselves and their goals require.
Our Mission
Kunduz is founded by three friends with the goal of revolutionizing education to empower new generations to fulfill their dreams. Our mission is to democratize access to education by using cutting-edge technology to offer highly personalized learning quickly, affordably, and at scale.
Our Vision
Our dream is a world where every young person can realize their potential and make an impact through personalized education. At Kunduz, we envision every student having the support of a teacher who knows them well to achieve their best learning outcomes.
