Dakar, Senegal & Dubai, UAE
Livrebi, a Senegalese startup dedicated to improving access to books and the management of educational materials, reports significant progress in both product development and operational efforts, with continued support from FasterCapital through the EquityPilot program.
FasterCapital and the EquityPilot program are currently assisting Livrebi with the prioritization of technical deliverables and execution tracking, as the team finalizes the requirements document and prepares for a pilot phase in schools.
What the Startup Delivers?
Livrebi is developing a platform aimed at facilitating access to textbooks and improving the management of school collections for primary and secondary institutions. The solution seeks to simplify indexing, lending, and tracking of materials while enhancing the availability of educational resources in both rural and urban areas.
Current FasterCapital Support
FasterCapital provides ongoing support during the execution phase through:
Current Execution Priorities
Livrebi’s current priorities include: finalizing the requirements document expected by the end of March 2026, launching development based on the availability of identified resources (with a development agency potentially as a partner), and preparing for the pilot phase. At the same time, the team is continuing outreach to schools to validate needs and prepare for on-the-ground integration. The communication strategy is also being structured, with initial budget estimates for visibility.
Evidence from Recent Activity
Leadership Comment
“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re pleased to continue supporting Livrebi through EquityPilot. Our team is focused on current execution priorities, milestone tracking, and connecting the startup with relevant ecosystem stakeholders as it advances.’”
Ecosystem Relevance
Livrebi’s work aligns with a broader context in which optimizing access to educational resources remains a priority for improving school performance. By targeting primary and secondary schools, the startup addresses a local operational need: better managing textbook inventories and making resource provision more predictable and traceable, particularly in areas like Vélingara, where logistical and organizational access is often limited.
Customer Validation
The six visits conducted at three institutions serve as preliminary on-the-ground validation: they helped identify practical needs such as access to materials, tracking loans, and managing collections, and also identified schools willing to participate in a pilot phase, contingent upon finalizing agreements and availability of development resources.
90-Day Outlook
Upcoming Milestones
In the coming weeks, Livrebi aims to finalize the requirements document, confirm the availability of development resources, and secure approval from pilot schools to begin on-the-ground testing. FasterCapital will continue to support milestone implementation, communication material preparation, and fundraising readiness.
