An idea for Rupo to co-found

Notebook V

Notebook is a comprehensive digital platform that transforms education through technology, content and online learning.

In Venezuela, many schools still manage grades, attendance, academic information and communication with parents through manual processes and separate tools. This causes disorganization, loss of time and makes it difficult to track students. Notebook seeks to solve this problem by integrating school administration, live classes, educational videos and digital courses into a single platform. It is aimed at schools, principals, teachers, students and parents who need more organized, connected and accessible education.

    Thank you for the response, Elvis. The revenue model is well understood, but my doubt goes more on the commercial side. For schools to pay that fee, someone has to go out on the street, sit down with each principal and convince them. How do you plan to resolve that? Do you have salespeople or a budget to do it? And another question, do you come from this world? Have you worked in schools or experienced this problem from within? For me it's key to have been a user of the problem, because that way you design with real foundations and with the pain points well identified.

    Thank you for bringing this up. Our strategy is to start with pilot institutions in Venezuela. We already have a contact at an institution that integrates kindergarten, school and high school, which will allow us to validate Cuaderno at different educational levels. Initially, we will establish direct relationships with principals, and as we demonstrate results, we will develop a network of representatives and strategic alliances to expand. We don't yet have a structured sales force, but it's part of our growth plan. We don't come from managing schools, we come from technological development and we want to build Cuaderno hand in hand with teachers and principals, listening to their needs and solving real problems. Our vision is to go beyond an administrative system, connecting Venezuelan educational institutions with training opportunities and professionals from anywhere in the world

    As an educator, I can tell you that in Venezuela there are several platforms that offer these services and there are also many schools that have already digitalized their processes. Are you familiar with systems like SAE, Eduweb, Educasis, or Colegia? What functionalities do schools request from their providers that they still haven't been able to achieve? Have you assessed the complexity, time, and resources needed to develop and maintain a platform that integrates academic management, administration, payments, communication, live classes, and digital courses? And, most importantly, have you spoken with principals and schools that would be willing to pay for having everything integrated? Is there a real operational problem for the school when using different platforms that justifies that investment, or is the need to centralize everything mainly driven by the convenience of students and parents, who are not necessarily the ones who would hire the service?

    Thank you for sharing your perspective, we know that platforms already exist and we precisely want to understand what needs remain unresolved in Venezuelan schools. Cuaderno does not seek to be just an administrative system, but to connect institutions with professional training opportunities inside and outside Venezuela. We are interested in learning from your experience: what functionalities do you feel current platforms still don't resolve.

    What puzzles me most is how you'll reach schools. Many are still not very digital, and convincing them one by one requires major commercial work. That's where I see the biggest challenge. What advantage do you have for distribution? Do you already have contact with principals, any pilot school or any school network that could open the door? And another question, who would pay, the school or the parents? Is there any school that has already told you they would pay for something like this?

    Our proposal is to build an educational ecosystem that helps modernize institutions and connect students with training opportunities. The model includes an accessible fee through the administrative system for schools, advertising from educational sector companies, specialized courses, and partnerships with sponsors. The idea is for Cuaderno to be sustainable without being a burden for families or institutions, and to be able to grow into an educational platform with national reach.
