What GG Concursos does

GG Concursos (legal entity GG CURSOS PREPARATÓRIOS LTDA) is a Brazilian online exam-preparation platform targeting candidates for public-sector concursos, with an emphasis on public security, banking, and tribunal positions. Founded in 2019 in Porto Alegre by Guilherme Koenig and Giuliano Tamagno — both concurseiros-turned-public servants — the company operates as an affiliated brand within Grupo 4U Ed Tech and delivers content via a proprietary LMS at academus.ggconcursos.com.br. The catalog comprises 40+ exam-specific courses covering federal and state police forces (PRF, Brigada Militar RS, Polícia Civil PR, Polícia Penal across multiple states), banking institutions (Banco do Brasil, CEF, BACEN, Banrisul, Banco do Nordeste), and tribunal/judicial roles (TRT4, TJRS), plus a 360-hour MEC-recognized postgraduate program in Public Security Management.

The product portfolio centers on individual course purchases alongside two subscription tiers: GG Play (R$990–R$1,190 annual) and GG Play Vitalício (R$3,990 lifetime), both granting access to all current and future courses. Distinctive features include the proprietary Pomodoro GG study method, unlimited mock-exam tooling, post-edital content updates, a Seguro Aprovação money-back guarantee, and AI-assisted study planning delivered through the GGênio virtual assistant (with additional AI features slated for 2026). Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer online via ggconcursos.com.br and WhatsApp/email funnels, with no third-party resellers or physical distribution, supported by content marketing anchored on student success stories.

Pricing spans from entry-level R$99 unit products (e.g., 500 commented questions for Trensurb) up to R$11,000 flagship courses (PRF extensive), with installment plans and a 5% upfront discount available across most offerings. Founded as a bootstrapped venture with no disclosed external funding, the company is founder-controlled, leverages 1–10 employees, and is embedded in a larger non-VC-backed EdTech group for shared infrastructure.
