Top Dog Education

Top Dog was founded by in 2010 by Claudia Swartzberg (CEO) and Ryan Swartzberg (Head of Innovation)
Our team has over 300 years of combined experience in education, business, data analytics, algorithmic, software and content development.
To date we are the largest Ed-Tech company in Africa with over 3.5m users.

Our product journey:

Interactive digital education content
Adaptive/Perosnalized learning
Diagnostics and remediation feedback

The problem we have identified is that all learning (digital or otherwise) is based on standardized course content. Adaptive/Personalized learning only changes the order the content is served but the end product is the same. Content creation is also very time consuming and costly.
We are solving this through automated algorithmic content creation on-demand.

Great conference, interesting presentations and most important, relevant participants with concrete ideas and tremendous willingness to mentor and help startups.

Adi Bittan

Founder & CEO, OwnerListens & Stanford MBA

Cleary one of the very best conferences we attended and sponsored in Silicon Valley this year. To us the conference truly captured what we see in our daily practice, the substantial opportunities and also the challenges with cross-border business arrangements. We made many new meaningful connections.

Lars Johansson

Partner, K&L Gates

It was great to present at SVOD and meet world-class entrepreneurs and investors. Our venture was off to a fast start in the funding round after the conference, we had an early closing to the round, and I look forward to being part of SVOD in the future!

Alexei Dunayev

CEO &CoFounder, TranscribeMe & Stanford MBA

The organizers here are doing an amazing job with selecting the people who attend, selecting the speakers, coming up with ideas for panels and discussions. The truly amazing side is that the audience gets bigger, more involved, active and more thoughtful. It’s just a fun place to be!

Daniil Stolyarov

Investment Director, Almaz Capital Partners (102M under management)

I am delighted to participate in and sponsor SVOD. It is particularly gratifying at this stage of my professional career to be able to support this unique organization and give back to the high-tech community. Looking back, I regret not having the benefits of SVOD network early on, when I really needed it! It is wonderful to see the new startups taking advantage of this very special forum.

Mike Sandler

It’s a great conference and it brings together great content from really terrific speakers like we just had and then a network of really interesting entrepreneurs.

Andy Tsao

The quality of entrepreneurs and the international flavor: it’s always fun to see where innovation is happening around the world. It was fun for us to see not only the quality of thought but also pace of execution and the teams here are becoming ready to play.
