Our take
High quality notes and resources are necessary at every level of education, but at times personal notes can be incomplete or missing details. The founders of Studocu have created a platform that allows students to share notes, resources, and study materials, that holds materials from thousands of universities across the world.
With 60 million users every month accessing the platform, there is undeniable demand for Studocu's services. Much of the company's popularity may be ascribed to its freemium model, which keeps 80% of its content free to access, reserving the top rated 20% for premium account holders. Interestingly, premium accounts do not necessarily require payment, as users can earn 14 days of full premium access for uploading their own study materials.
Studocu has seen impressive investment, which fuelled the expansion of its presence in the US and the wider world - with its resources now covering institutions in over 100 countries. The company's acquisition of Studybees, its German counterpart, will enable it to accelerate growth in the German market, which has been a key area and hence a promising target for securing further success.
