About OBM Education
OBM Education was founded in 2020 by Omar El-Barbary and Ezz Eldin El-Nattar, two visionary entrepreneurs from Egypt. Their mission was to revolutionize education in the Middle East by providing accessible and innovative learning solutions. The company quickly gained traction with its unique approach to career advice and training programs tailored for pre-university students.
In a significant milestone, OBM Education secured a seven-figure funding round from Saudi Arabia-based venture studio Value Maker Studio (VMS) in 2025. This investment was pivotal for the company, enabling it to accelerate its expansion into the Saudi Arabian market. Omar El-Barbary emphasized that the investment was not just about capital, but about shared visions and goals for the future of education in the region.
OBM Education's journey reflects the growing demand for edtech solutions in the Middle East, as more students and institutions seek modern and flexible learning options. The company's success is a testament to the founders' commitment to transforming educational landscapes and empowering the next generation of learners.
