Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

According to Role Models, academic success is not sufficient to shape the character of tomorrow's leaders. The company is a B2C & B2B education provider aiming to complement traditional academic education by creating online & offline courses for 3-15 year olds that allow children to develop their soft skills, such as leadership, confidence, resilience and problem solving,

Role Models stands out through the quality of its courses. It's developed by education, coaching and psychology experts. What's more, the company constantly wants to measure and quantify the impact of its courses - according to its internal research, over 80% of parents believe their child developed important skills on completion of their course.

One of Role Models' main sources of revenue is B2B partnerships with corporations that offer its service as employee benefits. This includes JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Rothschild, Citibank, Allen & Overy, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse and Accenture.
