Grasple: mission innovations and open business model

Our mission is to make knowledge on math and statistics openly accessible to everyone. We strive to help people learn these difficult concepts by practicing with high-quality exercises created by educators who build on each others work.

Imagine a world where every learner no matter where they are can access high-quality mathematics and statistics resources free; open and created by a global community of educators working together.

Thats what were building at Grasple a social enterprise. We know these subjects can be challenging mastery comes from practice especially when the exercises are thoughtfully designed and connected to a bigger picture. On our platform teachers collaborate to create personalised lessons and exercises refining and reusing each others work so that the best ideas can reach as many students as possible.

Weve made sure our mission is sustainable: learning is free for individuals while institutions can invest in advanced features seamless integrations and dedicated support. This means we can focus on what matters most in helping to grasp mathematical concepts at any level.

Today Grasple is used by more than 25 universities representing nearly half of the Dutch higher-education market. Institutions such as Delft University of Technology and Utrecht University trust us to support their students who have already completed over 110 million exercises on the platform.

Our next challenge is to bring even more teachers together to create open high-quality exercisesand to help their students learn in ways that work best for them. If youre passionate about education and the possibilities of technology this is an exciting time to be part of that journey.

For me this is the killer feature: Grasple offers an uniquely well-thought infrastructure to content development curation and distribution. Content is the hard part of teaching and only Grasple gets this right. Plus the platform makes very competent use of a powerful symbolic maths engine for verification and feedback.
