Escola Conquer

What Escola Conquer does

Escola Conquer is a Brazilian for-profit business school founded in 2016 and headquartered in Curitiba, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wiser Educação S.A. since the 2021 acquisition by Grupo Wiser (founded by entrepreneur Flávio Augusto). The company delivers career-focused education across multiple formats: MEC-certified postgraduate specializations and an MBA in Neuroscience and Human Behavior, a direct-to-consumer streaming platform (Conquer Plus) offering 80+ courses in soft and hard skills, customized corporate training through the Conquer In Company division, business English instruction via Conquer English, and an 18-month in-person career development program delivered through the Conquer Presencial franchise. Conquer serves both individual working professionals seeking career advancement and enterprise customers, with a disclosed corporate roster of 1,700+ clients including Google, Coca-Cola, Ambev, Itaú, Bradesco, Santander, Nestlé, Grupo Boticário, Vale, Renault, and iFood.

The platform is built around the proprietary 'Mão na Massa' hands-on teaching methodology, delivered by 350+ active market practitioners serving as instructors rather than academic-only faculty. Underlying technology comprises a learning management system supporting live and recorded classes, a dedicated mobile application for Conquer Plus, self-assessment and career diagnostic tooling ('Estudos Dirigidos'), and an exclusive alumni community. Revenue is generated through 24-month installment tuition on postgraduate programs (e.g., R$ 449–765/month), subscription access to Conquer Plus, custom enterprise training contracts, and franchise/licensing fees from Conquer Presencial operators. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer digital funnels, a sales-led enterprise motion, marketplace partnerships (Grupo A Education, meuSucesso), and a franchise network.

Conquer claims to have reached 5+ million students across 130+ countries and trained more than 600,000 employees through corporate programs. The company has received over R$ 120 million in cumulative investment from parent Wiser Educação since 2021, including a R$ 70 million round announced in October 2022, and was named the most remembered education brand by Brazilian consumers in 2020. Co-founders Hendel Favarin and Josef Rubin have individually received Forbes 30 Under 30, MIT Innovation Recognition, and EY Entrepreneur of the Year recognition. MEC accreditation as a higher education institution was granted in August 2022, enabling formal degree-granting authority.
