Alexandra Lutz, a first-year data science student at Stellenbosch University (SU), is not just another undergraduate. By day, she is dedicated to her studies, but beyond her academic commitments, she embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship as the CEO and founder of Milani Education, an online learning platform she started in high school.

Milani Education has grown under Alexandra’s visionary leadership. The startup, now comprising three directors and a content manager, was recently selected as one of seven from SU to compete in the regional round of the EDHE (Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education) Entrepreneurship Intervarsity 2024 competition. This competition highlights top student entrepreneurs from 26 public universities across South Africa.
