MyMUN

What MyMUN does

MyMUN is a privately held web-based marketplace and software platform, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Herrenberg, Germany, that serves the global Model United Nations community. The platform aggregates more than 900 MUN conferences across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and an online category, enabling student delegates (typically aged 12 and older) to discover events by location and date, submit applications, pay registration fees, and manage conference assignments in a single interface. On the supply side, MyMUN offers conference organizers application and payment processing, delegate assignment and notification tools, and a community-voted Hall of Fame recognition program, while its subsidiary-style product MUN Command provides proprietary committee and debate management software for chairs and secretariats.

The product surface also includes educational resources (MUN Masterclass, MUN Glossary), a Discord-based community channel (ComMUNity Chat), and integrations with affiliate partners such as Best Delegate MUN Institute, DMUN, and MUN Europe. The company operates as a distributed small team (1–10 employees) with roles spanning co-founders Alexander Dietz, Alexander Kapp, and Jonas Bruns, communications, social media management, blog editing, and regional organizer support.

MyMUN monetizes through three primary streams: transaction or platform fees charged to organizers for listing conferences and processing delegate applications and payments, subscription-style premium listing features for enhanced visibility, and affiliate referral revenue from partnerships such as the Best Delegate summer camp program (referral code MYMUN2026 offers a $100 discount). Distribution is entirely digital via the self-serve mymun.com platform, supplemented by SEO, blog content (MUN Stars interviews, beginner guides), an Instagram and TikTok social presence, and policy-level engagements including a 2024 NORRAG Policy Insights contribution at the UN Summit of the Future. There are no disclosed funding rounds and no evidence of institutional investor backing.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Best Delegate MUN Institute: Direct MUN training and conference partner that operates summer camps at top US universities and year-round virtual programs. Comparable because it targets the same MUN delegate audience, offers paid MUN education experiences, and shares a referral relationship with MyMUN.
• DMUN (Digital MUN): Operates free online MUN simulations and speaking programs promoted via MyMUN. Comparable because it serves the same digital MUN delegate audience and overlaps on online conference and training offerings.
• MUN Planet: Independent online MUN directory and community platform listing conferences globally. Comparable because it operates in the same MUN conference discovery and delegate networking niche as MyMUN.

Broad incumbents

• National Model United Nations (NMUN): One of the largest and longest-running college-level MUN conferences in the world, operated by a nonprofit. Comparable as a major organizer of MUN conferences that delegates actively seek out, partially overlapping with MyMUN's organizer- and delegate-facing ecosystem.
• Eventbrite: Global self-service event ticketing and registration platform widely used by student-run conferences including MUN events. Comparable as a horizontal incumbent that competes for organizer application and payment workflows.
• Cvent: Enterprise event management platform with registration, payment, and attendee management tools. Comparable as a broader incumbent serving conference organizers across industries, including academic conferences.
• Bizzabo: Event experience platform offering registration, payments, and engagement tools for conferences and associations. Comparable as a horizontal event-tech competitor to MyMUN's organizer tools.

Emerging players

• Outschool: Marketplace for extracurricular and enrichment classes for K-12 students. Comparable because it monetizes a fragmented, parent-funded extracurricular education ecosystem in which MyMUN-affiliated MUN training could conceivably be listed.

Others

• National Speech & Debate Association: Large US membership organization running speech and debate tournaments for high school students. Comparable as a structural analogue: a membership-led ecosystem organizing student competitions, which could be a logical horizontal expansion target for MyMUN beyond MUN.

Regional players

• Youth Model United Nations Initiative (various university-led programs): Regional and university-hosted MUN programs that compete with listed conferences on MyMUN. Comparable as supply-side organizers whose events are discoverable through MyMUN but operate independently.
