Grabmark wants to be a social network of reference for all students and according to Pedro Neves, one of the project’s promoters, the goals of crowdfunding are quite clear. For Pedro Neves, Grabmark’s presence in Massivemov will make it possible to “disseminate information on the Grabmark platform and its advantages to students, as well as reward the students that share the most information.
This will make it possible for Grabmark to “hire qualified professionals to help solve the problems and clarify doubts of the community’s students, providing online tutoring (live or recorded), class recordings and online classes, as well as a new educational experience with the 2.0 version of the Grabmark App”. “We are developing disruptive functionalities that will certainly (r)evolutionise Education”, explains Pedro Neves.
As a platform for students to share and exchange study material, Grabmark is a tool that endorses collaborative study. This start-up participated in the IdeaMove, a competition of business ideas promoted by the TEC Empreende project, and received support from INESC TEC to develop and implement its business project.
The
Grabmark platform started being designed in 2011 and is now broadly used by
Portuguese students that submit queries and get their doubts clarified in a
system where all users help each other. The platform is available for iOS and
Android since May. In the future, the start-up wants to launch the platform in
the Brazilian market.
