Amsterdam-based StuDocu is currently used by around 15 million students from over 2,000 universities. Notes from the likes of Harvard, University of Georgia, and Southern New Hampshire University are all available on the company’s platform.
The company, which was founded by four students in 2013, has raised funds on three different occasions to expand into the likes of the US, Canada, Australia and Germany.
Marnix Broer, StuDocu’s chief executive and cofounder, said the company was now in a “very strong position” to accelerate its global reach.
“Our top notch international team together with our successful and profitable business model brought us to the very healthy state we’re at now,” he said.
“This investment is proof that we’re on the right track to complete our mission and will ramp up our steep growth trajectory. With Partech’s scale-up experience on-board StuDocu is set up well for reaching even more students with even better products in the years to come.”
Bruno Crémel, general partner at Partech, said he was “excited” to partner with the Dutch startup.
“When we met the team at StuDocu, we were wildly impressed with their data-driven culture and by how much students really love using their services,” he said.
