GoKampus

GoKampus is an Indonesian technology education company that operates an integrated platform for both university admissions and corporate e-learning. The company was founded in 2018 by Nathanael Santoso and Jeganathan Sethu. Santoso, serving as CEO, was previously the executive director at Universitas Pelita Harapan, and his experience in the higher education sector informed the company's mission to digitize and simplify the student journey.

Initially, GoKampus focused on streamlining the university application process for students in Indonesia. Its mobile application allows prospective students to apply to numerous domestic and international partner universities by uploading their transcripts, receiving admission confirmations, and accessing information on scholarships and student loans. The platform aims to make higher education more accessible, addressing the challenges of cost and complex administrative procedures that prevent many Indonesian high school graduates from pursuing university. This service helps partner universities reduce student recruitment costs. Revenue is generated from B2B partnerships with educational and financial institutions, and through processing fees for student applications.

In June 2021, GoKampus secured an oversubscribed pre-series A funding round co-led by Sovereign's Capital and SALT Ventures, with participation from Azure Ventures and other angel investors. This capital was aimed at enhancing its technology with AI and machine learning, expanding its team, and increasing student and university partnerships. By that time, the platform had over 250,000 active users and 400 university partners globally.

Expanding its services, GoKampus launched Learn.ext (learnext.ai), a SaaS-based e-learning platform for corporate and government clients. This B2B service provides on-demand, certified courses for professional development, covering leadership and industry-specific skills. The platform is designed for easy integration into clients' internal systems and serves organizations including government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and public-listed companies.
