Expanding access to opportunity across Africa through AI.
Our Mission
Our mission at Lumen AI is to bridge the opportunity gap across Africa through scalable technology. We build intelligent products for the education sector rooted in a singular, defining belief: while talent is evenly distributed, access to guidance, information, and support is not.
Baseform represents the initial execution of this mission, ensuring that any learner with a mobile device possesses a dedicated digital partner on their journey to higher education. It is the foundational bridge of many we intend to build.
Talent is Evenly Distributed
Untapped brilliance exists across every city, town, and rural community in Africa. We build software that eliminates geographical and systemic barriers to ignite high-potential minds.
Universal Guidance & Support
Personalized admissions counseling, cognitive tutoring, and career pathways were once luxuries reserved for the few. Scalable AI makes world-class academic mentorship universal.
Mobile-First Digital Partner
Baseform turns any smartphone into an intelligent, dedicated companion on the student's journey to higher education. It is the initial foundation of many bridges to come.
Our Products
Each product is engineered with dedicated sovereign infrastructure and maintains its own focused experience.
