On site with Felix and Gregor in Vienna, full-time. You can come from anywhere in Europe; you just need to move here.

No. You own 75% and live from what your company earns. That's the deal.

GoStudent Builders · Vienna

We bring the customers. You build the company.

Q: Do I need a full team?

No. Individuals and teams of up to three are welcome. Commercial and tech in one team is ideal, strong pure-tech teams are welcome too.

Q: Do I need experience in education?

No. You need to build fast and sell. We bring the education know-how.

Q: How does ownership work?

You own 75% of the company you build, GoStudent holds 25%. GoStudent earns a fee on the revenue that runs through its customers, locations and sales team. From year 3, GoStudent can take a majority at a fixed EBITDA multiple agreed before you start, paid in GoStudent shares.

Q: What if it doesn't work?

We agree goals every 90 days. If a company keeps missing them, its access to our customers and locations ends. We'd rather say that up front.

Q: Can I bring my own idea?

Yes. It has to make real revenue and run on our network. Our brands section on this page shows what you can build on.

Q: Which language do we work in?

English. Some problems are tied to one market, so for those you need its language too: Spanish for Spain, Italian for Italy, Turkish for Turkey, Polish for Poland, German for Germany and Austria.

Q: Can several teams pick the same problem?

Yes, you can all apply. One team gets each problem.

We have 14 problems that make money and not enough people to build them. Pick one and build it as your own company, inside GoStudent. First round closes 15 December.

Pick a problem

14 problems we know make money. We just don't have the people to build them.

Germany

The problem
More and more people want to finish school outside the regular system. Today's providers are slow and outdated, some still ship course material on CD-ROM.
Why now
Demand from adults and dropouts keeps growing and the incumbents haven't modernised. An online-first offer with live tutoring can win on speed, price and pass rates.
What we bring
Our performance marketing engine, thousands of tutors, existing content and reach with parents and students.
First milestone
Online exam prep live, first paying students.

Bring your ownSame logic: it makes real revenue, you can own it, and it runs on our network. See our brands further down the page.

Why we're doing this

We have more validated opportunities than people to build them. Instead of hiring for each one or buying a company, we hand them to builders who want to own something.

Most startups die on three things: finding the first customers, getting infrastructure and licences in place, and raising money. We take all three off the table. You start with our customers, our locations, our licences and our data. You don't raise a cent.

In return we expect a lot. Full commitment, speed and real results. If it works, 75% of it is yours. If it doesn't, we'll tell you early.
