Princess Sumaya University for Technology… Student Ahmad Al-Kayed Successfully Transforms His Entrepreneurial Idea—Empowered by the University—into an Integrated Educational Platform Sold for $140,000

Apr 19, 2026

A new entrepreneurial success story reflecting the culture of innovation at Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) has been added to its record of leadership and creativity. This journey began three years ago when student Ahmad Al-Kayed, a fourth-year Computer Engineering major, launched the platform “No Nerds.” The idea stemmed from a personal challenge he faced in accessing specialized resources that support deep understanding and effective study organization. What started as an individual attempt to find a solution gradually evolved into an ambitious entrepreneurial project with a comprehensive educational vision.

The platform’s journey witnessed a pivotal turning point when its founder, Ahmad, joined PSUT’s Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) Program, supervised by entrepreneur Sari Awwad. Through more than 50 intensive mentorship sessions, the program played a key role in refining Ahmad’s entrepreneurial mindset and developing his idea, enhancing the project’s readiness for expansion and growth. Ahmad Al-Kayed was among the first participants in this program.

The “No Nerds” platform offers an integrated educational model built around four main components: the AI-powered tool “Faheem AI,” university courses, educational study materials, and private tutoring services. These are provided in both Arabic and English to meet the needs of students across various academic disciplines.

“Faheem AI” is one of the platform’s most prominent features. It functions as an intelligent assistant capable of generating educational questions, mind maps, and study summaries based on student interaction and inquiries. It also provides audio explanations of content using artificial intelligence technologies, in addition to creating structured study plans that help students manage their time and understand their coursework more effectively.

PSUT President, Prof. Wejdan Abu Elhaija, expressed her pride in the entrepreneurial achievements of PSUT students, noting that such models reflect the university’s vision of transforming ideas into impactful real-world projects, supported by the entrepreneurial programs it offers to foster an environment of innovation and creativity.

Prof. Abu Elhaija emphasized that the “No Nerds” platform represents a leading example of an idea that originated from a genuine need within PSUT environment and grew through persistence, development, and academic guidance into a successful venture. The platform was ultimately acquired by Jo Academy for $140,000, marking a significant step that demonstrates the maturity of the idea and its potential to scale as an educational product across the Arab world.

It is worth noting that the Entrepreneur in Residence Program, launched by PSUT as part of an initiative by the Deanship of Admissions and Registration and under the umbrella of the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship, serves as an incubator for innovative ideas. The program aims to empower students, faculty members, and staff to develop and transform their ideas into practical ventures through startup projects and companies, thereby enhancing and advancing PSUT’s ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation.
