Mancii

What Mancii does

Mancii operates a three-sided psychometric assessment and matching platform connecting students, educational institutions, and employers across Latin America. The company's core technology combines multiple validated psychometric frameworks—Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, the Big Five personality model, VARK learning styles, and the Japanese Ikigai philosophy—integrated with the Colombian Ministry of Education's official OSO card methodology. The platform delivers a free 5-minute vocational test (Turbo Test) to students, an educational offers marketplace, and two SaaS verticals: one for universities focused on student attraction, profiling, and retention analytics, and one for companies focused on pre-filtering candidates via video culture reels and micro-learning challenges to reduce early turnover. Predictive analytics and 90-day retention alerts are powered by an official AI partnership with Z.ai.

The business model hybridizes a freemium student-facing acquisition layer with B2B subscription revenue from universities and enterprises. Universities pay for institutional access including dashboards, group analytics, and PDF reports; companies pay for HR pre-filtering, micro-learning challenges, and predictive turnover alerts; professional tools for psychologists and a Test Builder for ICFES preparation are additional modules. Geographic footprint centers on Colombia with active expansion into Mexico (where the legal entity MANCII S.A.S. is domiciled), Peru, and Chile, with the platform available in Spanish, English, and French. The company has secured a Google for Startups selection with $100,000 in technology support and was a finalist in the Startco competition, positioning it within the Latin American EdTech startup ecosystem.
