Why we started

Studying shouldn't

start with a scramble.

Every semester, the same scramble. The material exists, but it's spread across group chats, expired links and a flash drive someone borrowed. We built Acadeva so the first thing you do is read, not hunt.

Before

Five places to check for one course, and no guarantee any of them has the latest version.

With Acadeva

One course, one shelf. Everything sorted, downloaded for offline, and tied to your timetable.

Our mission

What we're here for
Every Nigerian student deserves the right material for every course, ready on any device they own.

Organized by course

Materials follow the course, not the group chat. Upload once and it reaches every school that offers it.

Built for real conditions

Small downloads, offline reading and cached libraries, because data is expensive and power is unpredictable.

Free to read, forever

Books and resources on Acadeva stay free. That promise is written into every faculty partnership.

What we build

Study and schedule,

side by side.

Two things decide how a semester goes: having the right material, and knowing when it's due. Acadeva puts both on the same screen.

Study

A library sorted by your school, department, level and course.

  • Textbooks, manuals and past questions
  • A fast and light PDF reader
  • Practice quizzes that work offline

Schedule

Your timetable, tests and deadlines in the same app as your notes.

  • Timetable and exam planner
  • Reminders before classes and tests
  • Sync with Google Calendar and Tasks

Collaborate

Studying is social. Acadeva is too.

  • Study groups and study challenges
  • Contribute materials and get credited
  • Course reps can share notices directly

Everywhere you study

Small enough for any phone. Ready for any laptop.

Download sizes. Your library, schedule and quizzes sync across every device you sign in on.

Our story

From a hackathon prototype

to a partner network.

  1. A prototype takes first and second

    Our earliest version of Acadeva won first and second place at a hackathon, and gave us the push to build it properly.

  2. Acadeva is live

    Acadeva opens to students, starting at the University of Uyo and spreading by word of mouth to other campuses.

  3. First Runner-Up at DevEast

    Acadeva places First Runner-Up at the DevEast Entrepreneurship Week Business Pitch at FUTO and receives startup funding.

  4. Acadeva 2.0 and course-based study

    We rebuild the experience around courses, so every material, quiz and reminder lives under the course it belongs to.

  5. Acadeva turns one

    A year in, with thousands of students and a much clearer picture of what they need next.

  6. Acadeva for desktop

    Native apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, following a rebuilt PDF reader and a faster, lighter app.

  7. Studio Partners begins

    Faculties and departments can now manage their own course content.

Our core values

How we make decisions.

Student outcomes first

We don't measure success by the features we ship. We measure it by how students actually do in their courses.

Simplicity as a discipline

We actively remove complexity, even when it's hard. Every screen should make sense the first time a student opens it.

Build for real context

We design for offline availability, low data consumption and minimal storage use, because that's how students study.

The team

Students building

for students.

We're a close knit team building bold ideas and learning as we go.
