About Preface

Preface is a global EdTech with the mission to enable learners with up-trend tech knowledge and skills anytime, anywhere, and in any format. We have been living and breathing by the motto “there isn’t a thing that cannot be learnt.

With the vision to increase the overall tech literacy of the world, Preface is known to provide market-leading education solutions to fulfill the ever-changing learning & customized-development needs of learners and corporates worldwide

Our journey started in Hong Kong, tackling the issues of our traditional education model to cultivate future global talents through customized, uptrend, and bitesize learning. In 2018, we started “Preface Coffee & Wine” to bring the immersive lifestyle learning experience to life. 

In 2021, with the world’s growing awareness and demand of tech education that works, Preface secured a 6M USD Series A funding. Since then, we have partnered with a range of global companies, such as Meta, IWC, Warner Music and more to showcase the possibility of technology across all industries. 

2022 and 2023 is a phase of expansion and automation. We are expanding the Preface Ecosystem globally to London, Singapore, Japan, and more and at the same time developing cutting edge technology in preparation for Preface 2.0. We are just getting started.
