About Dost

Dost is an ed-tech nonprofit building a platform to expand access to early childhood development in low-resource settings. Our mission is to unlock children’s full potential by focusing on early learning at home - the time when 90% of our brains develop.

We believe that parents of any literacy level can play a critical role in developing their children’s school and life readiness. That’s why our team at Dost Education - educators, entrepreneurs, and engineers - are passionate about using technology and user-centric product design to change the trajectory of families’ lives.

Since 2017, we’ve grown from a small pilot project with a few hundred mothers to reaching over 2 lakh families working with partners like UNICEF and state governments. Join us as we continue to innovate, grow our reach, and deepen our impact. We are supported by some of the best funders in the tech and social impact spaces like Y Combinator, Mulago, and many others.

Dost Education values diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
