## About

Based in Berlin, Germany, and founded in 2008 by Stephan Bayer, sofatutor GmbH is an online educational platform that provides interactive modules and has over 1 million users, and serves over 25% of all teachers across Germany. In March 2021, private equity firms Gimv and Emeram Capital Partners acquired the company with its founder, Stephan Bayer, as its CEO.

sofatutor GmbH covers a wide range of more than 11,000 videos and exercises and worksheets for 14 different school subjects. The platform offers courses for elementary, middle school, and high school students. All resources can be accessed through the web-based platform or via the sofatutor app and also offers chat capabilities about homework tasks in real-time with qualified teachers.

The educational platform is a subscription-based service and clients are billed annually.

Following the acquisition by Gimv and Emeram Capital Partners in March 2021, sofatutor GmbH plans to meet the demand for online learning tools and improve access to a first-class education.
