The venture, Rezme, has secured a significant win at the 16th-annual Milken-Penn GSE Education Business Plan Competition. The competition, an annual event co-organized by the Michael & Lori Milken Family Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education, focuses on business plans related to the education sector.

The founder of Rézme, Mamadou Soumare, accepted the $40,000 Michael & Lori Milken Family Foundation Grand Prize on behalf of the venture. This win brings much-needed funding for Rezme, which will help in further developing and refining the software to better serve its intended users in the education sector.
