ZNotes is revolutionising how students learn together with student-build content and a global community of students engaging in peer-to-peer learning and support. The platform enables students to maximize their potential with unlimited free access to the highest-quality educational content - all built for students, by students.
Through word of mouth, ZNotes received 28+ million website hits, reached 4+ million unique visitors, 200k+ registered users, and a Discord community of over 16k members. ZNotes began with a single student's revision notes and efforts to run the website, to now having 100+ student contributors and a team of 40 volunteers who support the organisation's day to day activities.
Hear from the Founder, Zubair Junjunia about his story: from the initial idea to create ZNotes in 2014; to being accepted on the UCL Enterprise Launch Programme (now called "Build your own business 3: Launch your business") for assistance in evolving ZNotes into a start-up. Zubair will discuss how he continued to run ZNotes whilst completing his Mathematics Master's degree; by drawing attention to the benefits of this venture, and any challenges he faced along the way.
Please have your questions ready for Zubair.
