Our take

Demands on the education system are changing at a rapid rate, and Knowunity is one of a wave of EdTechs looking to revolutionise education and meet the demands of Gen Z.

Knowunity sets itself apart from most online education platforms, that tend to offer traditional tutoring/teaching systems, by being a completely peer-to-peer platform. The site relies on student creators (called "Knowers"), who share their notes and guidance with their followings. This flatter and more collaborative system has proven popular, with the platform now boasting millions of users.

After establishing a strong user-base in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Poland, the company went on to launch into the UK and Italian markets. Fresh funding will see Knowunity eye up further expansion into the US, alongside Spain and possibly further continents in the near future.
