I am ready: StuComm is Ready (Education)I am proud. Very proud even. We have been talking to our clients and our partners, and we have announced it in the media, but I wanted to share my personal view as well. As you may already know, StuComm is Ready. Not only as a figure of speech, but literally. We are joining forces with Ready Education and Collabco to become the largest student engagement platform provider worldwide. I am extremely proud of this next step to reach my personal goal: to set the new worldwide standard for student communication.When I founded StuComm we had nothing but an idea and our motivation. We pitched our product, that did not even exist yet, to multiple institutions until we found one that believed in our idea. Our very first clients, who are still with us today, gave me the opportunity to prove what we are capable of. I remember celebrating the first 10,000 students downloading the app at Hogeschool Inholland / Inholland University of Applied Sciences; what a great memory!That was just the first milestone in this exciting journey. Two amazing incubators helped us grow even further: Startupbootcamp and UtrechtInc. And from the early days we have been supported by our great investor. I want to thank Jonathan Kahn, Roland Kahn and Jaco Scheffers for their support and belief in our mission.I'm very proud of the StuComm team, who works tirelessly to support our customers and help students succeed. I want to thank Edwin Flooren who has been by my side since the early days of StuComm and is a fantastic mentor, coach and friend.Again, I am truly proud of what we have accomplished at StuComm. Everyone here has played a huge part and will continue to do so. I myself am honoured to assume the role of General Manager Europe.I am ready. StuComm is Ready Education. We are ready to help students succeed. Worldwide.
