Jorge Mata is one of the most prestigious entrepreneurs of the hispanic internet, mainly due to the creation of Myalert (now Blinko) and due to the success of Berggi.
As told by Rodolfo Carpintier, investor in Berggi, Jorge Mata is in the process of starting a new project these days called eGauss, dedicated to online education.
eGauss are support classes for secondary school and high school, given in video by specialized professors. Subjects available at present are Mathematics, Chemistry and Art History.
The business model of eGauss, I believe is spot on. They charge a small monthly quota of 6 euros for access to the content, something which I am sure parents will pay happily to see their children dedicate more time in improving their knowledge of certain subjects.
If in eGauss they are capable of attracting the interest of parents who pay that quota and start generating interesting revenues, there could be other opportunities to create utilities such as an advice section for doubts, database of notes, … it’s clear that the internet could do a lot for education and this could be a good beginning.
Vote for eGauss in Loogic Rank.
