NSRL

National Student Record Ledger

A centralized academic data platform restructuring how student records are managed and verified across Ethiopia — one ledger a school, a student and an employer can all trust, instead of paper that has to be taken on faith.

Jebena Link

Founders × investors, Ethiopia

Structured disclosure and introductions between Ethiopian startup founders and investors, shaped by interviews with five of them. Every company answers the same questions; what has been checked is marked, and what is missing shows as missing.

  • Introductions only: the platform never holds investor money
  • Reward-based crowdfunding in birr via Chapa
  • “Not an investment” enforced in the database itself

03 Try the idea

Change one grade.
Watch the ledger notice.

Each record below is sealed with a SHA-256 hash of its contents plus the hash of the record before it. Edit any score and its seal breaks, and so does every link after it. Then try covering it up the way an insider would.

Sealing the ledger…

A toy model of the idea behind NSRL, running real SHA-256 in your browser. It is not NSRL's production code.

Competitive debating. Rooms won by structure, not volume.

AI & systems design

Large-scale systems, and what happens when they meet real institutions.

Building NSRL

Founder work: everything is my job, which is the fun part.

Speaking that's built, not improvised — argument first, delivery second.
