About
Vectorly was born from the pivot of dot Learn, an e-learning app I had built to serve students in West Africa. When the consumer product failed to scale, we kept the underlying video compression technology — a technique I'd developed to compress educational video by 10x — and tried to commercialize it directly as a B2B company.
