About us
We believe in helping students succeed. We do so by knowing what they want and providing them with a communication tool that is genuinely useful to them.
The StuComm Story
A rainy day in 2014 brought our founder, Ronald Kouvelt, to a bar in Utrecht. Surrounded by students he heard familiar frustrations: missed deadlines, a no-show lecturer, and yet another important announcement they received way too late. With his years as a student not too far behind, Ronald recognized these frustrations: communication is not the strongest trait of educational institutions.
An idea came to him and with the help of his tech-savvy friend WIlliam, StuComm was born. Ronald and William studied students, watched their frustrations, their habits. The conclusion: students like to communicate with their smartphone above anything else, and educational institutions fail to do so. The result? An app where students could find all information needed to be successful. The StuCommApp.
StuComm continued to grow with one mission: to help students all over the world to be successful. In order to turn the idea into a real company, StuComm participated in the Pressure Cooker program of UtrechtInc. Not too long after StuComm was also part of the Smart City & Living program of Startupbootcamp, a start-up accelerator. During our journey we have met various mentors who gave valuable input, for which we will always be grateful. They are part of the reason we are able to help students be successful.
Five years later, StuComm has grown from an idea to a company with over 25 employees whose work was acknowledged with the “Dutch App of the Year Award 2019”. Countless students across Europe use our app as often as they use their social media. But our journey is far from over.
For us, the StuComm story has just begun. We will not rest until we help educational institutions all over the world, to make their students successful.
