Company mission
CENTURY Tech's mission is to provide every teacher and learner with intelligent tools that help them succeed.
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
CENTURY Tech is a learning platform specially designed to fulfill the needs of schools, colleges, and universities. The company combines the latest research in learning science, AI, and neuroscience to provide each student with a personalized learning experience that matches their individual learning style.
This approach to learning improves student engagement whilst also reducing a teacher's workload. CENTURY Tech also enhances the teaching profession, allowing teachers to access actionable data insights on students' performance. CENTURY Tech is currently used in schools in over 45 countries around the world.
The demand for high-quality edtech has been growing in recent years and soared during the Covid Pandemic. This is a trend that will continue in the future as schools prioritize the adoption of technology in education. In order to capitalize on this opportunity, CENTURY Tech has raised £4.7 million, which will be invested in developing its AI-powered learning technologies and in increasing its customer base.

Everyone I had the chance to collaborate with, in every department, was somehow switched-on and very skilled. It feels good to work with so many great professionals, everyone different but bringing something special to the company.

Just lots of lovely human beings. A very healthy work environment where everyone is both supported and challenged. Taking time off is encouraged (very generous annual-leave package) so that you can be fresh and productive when you work. Very mature friendly company culture, social impact values and work-life balance.

I joined Century Tech as a software engineer. I've got lots of support from everyone in tech and other departments. Daily tech meetings with my manger and other senior engineers have been very helpful to me learn and progress at the same time and excel in my current position especially with the rapid growth the company is going. I've been able to develop and do quite a few things just in a short amount of time, with all the support I get.
