What Getcourse.ru does

GetCourse is a Skolkovo, Russia-headquartered SaaS company that operates an all-in-one cloud platform for online course creators, educators, and online schools. The platform unifies a Learning Management System, CRM, payment processing, email and messenger marketing, automated sales funnels, webinar hosting, end-to-end analytics, and a visual landing-page/website builder, positioning itself as a single-stack replacement for the fragmented toolchain typically required to run an online school. Founded in 2013 by Marat Nigametzianov, Matvey Kalachev, Sergey Mikhaylov, and Timur Karimbaev, the company reports serving 50,000+ client schools and 16 million students across Russia, CIS, the EU, the US, and 160+ countries.

The technical core is a vertically integrated stack anchored by Get Модуль, a native payment module accepting Russian and international cards (Visa, Mastercard, plus 25+ payment integrations including PayPal, Stripe, and CloudPayments) without requiring external gateways. Supporting modules include a CRM with behavioral segmentation, an auto-funnel builder, webinar and auto-webinar hosting, an email/SMS/messenger broadcast engine covering WhatsApp, Telegram, and VK, and an analytics layer synchronized directly to payments. Since 2021 the company has operated a marketplace listing third-party courses, an internal advertising product (GC ADS), a Quality Mark registry for vetted schools, and a Certified Specialist program with over 100 active partners and 1,937 GetCourse University graduates.

GetCourse monetizes through four streams: SaaS subscriptions for platform access, transaction fees on payments processed via Get Модуль, marketplace commissions on course sales, and professional setup services for enterprise clients. The company claims 70% market share among Russian online schools and stated that the combined revenue of schools on its platform reached 158 billion rubles in 2025 (a GTV metric, not GetCourse's own revenue). In September 2021 it raised $50 million led by Goldman Sachs with Winter Capital Partners and Baring Vostok Capital Partners to fund international expansion into Brazil, Spain, and Latin America.
