Welcome to the

Vegalithic Period

of eLearning Technology

Who we are

We are a team of hard-working, fun-loving tech-preneurs. In 2017, stars aligned and brought us together to work on a number of opportunities for Learning Technology solutions. Six years later, we formally joined forces to launch a shiny new star: Vegalith – a business accelerator fund exclusively for high-impact companies in the Learning Tech space.

Our vision

We want Learning Tech to be a powerful force for change in the world – and we want to be instrumental in shaping this new world.

Our Mission

We take ambitious Learning Tech founders and teams and turbo-charge their offerings to become commercially successful on a global scale.

Our Values

We talk straight (no corporate bullshit)
We deal straight (no hidden agendas)
We focus on “what matters” (no waste of time nonsense)

Vegalith’s core team pools together complementary skills, experiences, and personalities to create a force that can get your business off the ground and flying.

Chris | the Vega element

Chris is the project’s guiding light. He is a larger-than-life persona whose passion, drive, and enthusiasm transform everything he touches.

His global industry vision, combined with a sharp eye for niche opportunities, make him a formidable player in the digital field.

How we work

Vegalith is a rare breed in the Learning Tech kingdom:

Firstly, we bring under one roof all the skills necessary to craft, finance and execute a strategy that makes your company’s service offering visible (vega) and reliable (lith) in the global market. We also know a “jack of all trades” approach seldom gets the desired results. So, we have a network of trusted and experienced partners who handle everything from legal and HR to graphic design and IT who are specialists in their fields.

Secondly, we focus exclusively on Learning Tech companies. That is what we understand best, and that is where we offer real value. We are not all things to all people. However, in Learning Tech, we can make the difference between survival and resounding success.

Our operating model is based on simplicity and common sense.

Starting Point

if you like what you see here, all you need to do is to fill out a simple form. If we think we are a good fit we get in touch, roll up our sleeves and get working.

Step 1

we craft a Go2Market strategy together that best fits your team and offerings and helps you achieve your full potential.

Step 2

we work out a deal whereby we finance the Go2Market resources you need to get your service off the ground and flying. In return, we get a share of your company and a say in how things get done to ensure that it all stays on track.

Step 3

we stay with you along the way and execute the strategy until we have achieved the objectives we had set. Oftentimes, this will result in a big funding round where new investors come in or a sale of the company to become part of a bigger project.

Step 4

If we are not a good fit, we will still try and find someone who is.

We may not know everyone in the Learning Tech world, but everyone knows us. So, no time like the present! Step forward and introduce yourselves

What are we looking for

At Vegalith, we only partner with the best because we set the bar equally high when it comes to our own standards and expectations about what we have to offer.

In a snapshot, we are looking for companies who live, breathe, and dream Learning Tech – specifically, companies that:

seek to address specific market niches and/or geographies
possess proprietary technology that addresses B2B or B2C needs
operate on an expandable SaaS business model
have a proven (even if limited) commercial track record with their offering

What mostly matters, though, is the people behind the business:

we like to work with entrepreneurs who are passionate about their work, who have a strong vision, and who are willing to speak their minds as much as they listen to the minds of others.
we love to work with teams that have complementary skills, a history of working together, and an openness to bring in new team members – such as Vegalith.
