Developed to enhance youth education, the platform currently boasts more than 5, 000 users, with the goal to reach 20,000 in the next two years. 

Farid is an e-learning platform targeting children aged 3 to 18. Developed by an Egyptian startup, it helps users build character, learn about human values, and maintain good mental health. The start-up was founded in 2024 by Mahmoud Hussein.

In September 2024, the company announced a successful $250,000 funding round, which will be used to enhance the platform and support its expansion in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The platform does not have a mobile app, so users must access it through a web browser. After creating an account with their personal information, they can enroll in courses. Parents can choose which workshops their children attend. Notably, Farid offers "individual sessions that ensure direct and effective interaction with each child, allowing them to receive personalized attention and one-on-one guidance."

As children progress through the training, the startup sends detailed reports to parents, outlining their children’s grades and areas for improvement. Since its launch, Farid has hosted over 400 workshops, attracted more than 5,000 users, and partnered with over 700 certified trainers. In addition to courses for children, the platform also offers training for recent graduates to become instructors.
