Dear PODIM investor!
Scaleup Inštitut 4.0 is a leading private educational center for robotics and programming and it is about to expand. Join us with your investment and network.
We specialise in education of children aged 7 – 16, with self developed hands-on teaching methods that are far above market expectation and have thus become a “de facto” norm in Slovenia’s educational ecosystem. Time has come to expand.
For you, we want to offer an opportunity to step in as an investor and together we will create a franchise model that will dominate other EU markets and offer great ROI.
Please offer us 3 minutes of your precious time and we will explain you our business model that is already generating great returns and opportunity to step into #1 educational industry in the world – future of skills in robotics & programming, which is a universal language of the future.
How it all started…
Me and 2 partners have started 2017 with a simple idea. Acknowledging that programming and robotics are #1 skill that parents around the world are seeking for their children to develop, we planned to offer them, what public school system is failing to teach.
We had left our jobs, taken 20k euro out of our personal savings, bought few Lego robotics kits & laptops and went all in. We started to institutionalise what has proven to be one of the most value based extracurricular activities yet known.
After first year in business we were already breaking even. We rented additional spaces and started building a team.
From “do-it-all” Founders to building a system…
In the first year, as many other startup founders, we have done it all. From teaching, doing finance, renovating spaces, mopping floor and branding. Nothing was out of scope. We knew every bolt and screw of our business.
Equipped with that knowledge, we started to build systems & procedures that will enable us to expand.
Above all we did 3 things right:
– we hired best young talents (all national winners and competitors of world cups in robotics, mechanics and programming) and payed them well,
– we connected to all public players in our state dominated educational system (50+ schools & faculties, up to ministers, president, PM),
– we launched major research group to track educational trends and through marketing & collaboration we infiltrated minds of our customers and potential clients (to deeply understand what makes them tick and what drives value in their eyes).
- Miro Cerar, PM of Slovenia 2014 – 2018
- Marjan Šarec, PM of Slovenia 2018 – 2020
- Contributing our expertise to national news.
At the end results speak for themselves…
In the second year in business we have amassed 500+ permanent clients (parents that pay 520 euro per child for our 1 year program (one 2-hour lesson per week)). We established cooperation with 50+ schools & faculties, that visit our educational centres and send us their teaching staff to educate themselves.
In Slovenia we have become the place to go if you want to offer your children best education of the future and if you want to educate your school staff about skills of the future.
Revenues in the second year exceeded 250k euro (100% growth from 1st year) and operating costs reaching no more than 60% of that amount.
- Our first center, in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, opened in 2017.
- Start small, dream big and grow rapidly.
- Every year we organise national events with hundreds of participants.
All that is just the beginning…
In this third year in business we have expanded even more (currently we are collaborating with Dobot – international robotic arm manufacturer, whose mission is to dominate educational industry with its state of art robotic arms).
And what is most important – we have set in place systems and procedures and created a full franchise program with operational blueprint to expand and dominate other EU markets.
- Who would think what would you get if you mix a lawyer, an economist and a professional sport trainer? 🙂
- Red symbolises passion and 4.0 an intent to be on the forefront of the 4th industrial revolution.
- Always busy, always running. Our classes are on 6 days a week in more than 25 locations nationwide.
You and We
Path will not be easy. But we don’t expect it to be.
What we firmly believe is that our founding team is in position to conquer new markets and establish leading position in EU private education for programming and robotics.
That is why we want YOU on board.
With your investment (we primarily seek 250k upwards) we will establish an international position – EU franchise system – leader of the industry.
When someone will merely think of giving their children best possible education, that will set them above the market, they will think of us.
Looking forward to meet in person,
Sincerely yours,
Founding team of Inštitut 4.0
