What Prepa IN does

Prepa IN, founded in 2019 and operated by Grupo Liber Soluciones Tecnológicas y de Educación de México S.A. de C.V., is a Mexico City-based EdTech company that delivers an online preparatory (high school) completion program for adults. The core product is a 16-week course that prepares students to pass the EXACER examination administered by the Colegio de Bachilleres under SEP convenio 445, yielding an official SEP-validated preparatory certificate. The platform is mobile-first and accessible 24/7 from any phone with internet, and combines self-paced modular content across the seven EXACER knowledge areas with personal coaching over WhatsApp, optional live Zoom classes, and EXACER-format practice simulators.

The business operates two primary GTM motions. The consumer track sells the program directly via the company website and WhatsApp at MXN $4,500 one-time (or installment plans of two payments of MXN $2,500 or an initial MXN $1,000 plus six biweekly payments of MXN $800), with scholarships of up to 50% and OXXO cash-payment slips to serve unbanked customers. The B2B track, branded 'Prepa IN para Empresas,' delivers customized employee-certification programs with HR progress reporting to 120 corporate clients (OXXO, Chedraui, Home Depot, DiDi, Rappi, Viva Aerobus, Xcaret, Devlyn) and 10 government entities. A flagship alliance with CANIRAC extends 5,000 scholarships (50% discount) to women in Mexico's restaurant industry, and a partnership with Universidad Gestalt creates an articulated university pathway for top graduates.

The company reports 30,800+ enrolled students and 15,000+ graduates with SEP certificates; it is B Corp certified, led by co-founder/Director General Rodrigo Loeza King (Forbes México 30 Under 30, 2025), and runs with 11-50 employees.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Crehana: Latin American online education platform offering short courses and certificate programs. While focused on professional skills rather than high school completion, it shares the mobile-first, Spanish-language, adult-learner DNA with Prepa IN.
• Next U: Latin American online education platform offering short courses, bootcamps, and professional certificates. Targets similar working-adult demographics across Mexico and Latin America with mobile-friendly formats, adjacent to but not directly competing with Prepa IN.

Broad incumbents

• UNADM (Universidad Abierta y a Distancia de México): Government-funded open and distance university offering free online secondary and higher education in Mexico. Overlaps with Prepa IN on adult high school completion, though with longer timelines and no personalized coaching.
• Prepa en Línea SEP: Mexico's government-run free online high school program administered by the SEP. It is the dominant free alternative to Prepa IN for adult secondary completion, taking ~2.5 years to complete with no personal coaching.
• Aliat Universidades: Mexican private higher education network with multiple campuses and online programs across Mexico. Provides both traditional RVOE high school diplomas and online alternatives, overlapping with Prepa IN's target adult learner base.
• UVM (Universidad del Valle de México) Online: One of Mexico's largest private university systems with online and blended secondary/preparatory and degree programs. Competes with Prepa IN for adult learners seeking recognized Mexican credentials, particularly through employer-sponsored programs.
• Colegio de Bachilleres (Colbach): Government institution administering the EXACER exam under convenio 445 that Prepa IN prepares students for. Colbach also runs its own open preparatory programs (prepa abierta), competing directly with Prepa IN's curriculum while certifying Prepa IN graduates.

Regional players

• CENVALES (Acuerdo 286 / CENEVAL): Mexican organization administering the Acuerdo 286 single-exam equivalency for secondary and high school certification. CENEVAL is the only other SEP-recognized exam pathway besides EXACER, representing a competing certification route Prepa IN explicitly differentiates against.

Direct peers

• iKe Universidad: Mexican online higher education institution offering flexible secondary and tertiary credentials. Targets similar adult learner segments in Mexico with online programs, competing for the same working-adult demographic.
• UTEL (Universidad Tecnológica Latinoamericana): Online-focused Mexican university serving adult learners across Latin America. Comparable in mobile-first delivery, flexible scheduling, and B2B corporate education partnerships to Prepa IN, though focused on degree programs rather than secondary completion.
