Brokerage firm Mayberry Investments Limited has announced that it will now act as financial advisor to social learning platform, EduFocal.

As the online social learning portal seeks to raise capital, it has engaged the brokerage and financial advisory services of Mayberry.

“Mayberry is always looking for fruitful and impactful partnerships. This one ranks very highly for us and
we are happy to assist in any way we can to bolster the efforts of EduFocal”, said Dan Theoc, senior vice president – investment banking for Mayberry.

EduFocal is focused on using technology to enrich the learning experience outside of the classroom as well as to help ideate and innovate the way we move forward with technology in education. The purpose and objectives of the platform have become even more critical and necessary especially due to the negative impact of the pandemic on regular learning experiences.

Founded by Gordon Swaby and Paul Allen, EduFocal now sees the need to grow to reach even more students.

“Our intuitive product boosts student’s comprehension and retention skills through fun means. We want to be the Caribbean’s premiere learning platform but to do so we require the right guidance, financial advice and direction,” Swaby said.

“We are elated about our continued collaboration and partnership with Mayberry Investments, a formidable force in investments – two premier companies coming together to make a positive impact. We look forward to increasing our success with their support and guidance.”

EduFocal said it has continued to grow exponentially and has its eyes set on being accessible to students all across the region.

“We pride ourselves on being able to deliver quality solutions and have developed the capabilities to expand regionally in the short term. Mayberry’s input will be critical as we take this major step,” Swaby added.

EXTREMELY MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIP

Mayberry Investments Chief Executive Officer Gary Peart said the partnership with EduFocal is extremely meaningful because of the expected benefits on the education system.

“Mayberry is a strong proponent of youth development and educational growth. We think that EduFocal is the right
stimulus for growth in both education and general development of our youth,” said Peart.

“This agreement will strengthen EduFocal’s impact on so many students and we are happy to be a part of any positive impetus that can drive growth from the community level to the national and regional level.”
