What do we do

Description

Textbooks are notoriously overpriced! The price of one textbook has risen by over 1041% in the past 20 years. As a result over 64% students has skipped required textbooks at some point in their university life. This doesn't do publishers any good either, their market has dropped by 9% from 2018 to 2019 and by a whopping 40% from 2019 to 2020.

We designed and developed Sesyme, a textbook subscription platform to provide higher education students unlimited access to all their prescribed textbooks.

Sesyme is a great solution for both the publisher and the student. We will save students money and help publishers recover lost revenues.

Market Analysis

South Africa has about one million university students. NSFAS and bursaries fund about 600 000 of those students. Over 216 000 students fall into the “missing middle” category.
