Concorsando.it

What Concorsando.it does

Concorsando.it, operated by Concorsando S.r.l. (a privately-held Italian limited liability company controlled by EDUMAV GROUP s.r.l. and headquartered in Naples with presence in Rome), is a digital learning platform serving Italian candidates preparing for public sector competitions (concorsi pubblici). Founded in 2013 and operating with a small team (1-10 employees), the platform has built its offering around two core products: Simulatore Quiz Concorsando.it, a web and mobile quiz simulator with iOS and Android apps drawing on official and proprietary question banks; and Concorsando Academy, an online learning management system (LMS) that delivers structured video courses via Vimeo. The technology stack is commodity and cloud-native — OVHcloud hosting, Firebase real-time database for usage telemetry, WordPress for editorial quiz content, Sendy+AWS for email, and standard payment / analytics integrations (PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Google Analytics). User experience is freemium: a limited 500-question demo is free, with premium upgrades sold as time-limited subscriptions (monthly/quarterly/annual) and bundled Combo packages combining Simulator and Academy at a discount; notably, plans are not auto-renewing.

The business model is consumer-only (B2C) and is monetized entirely through these subscriptions and course sales to individual candidates, with no disclosed enterprise or B2B contracts, no external funding rounds, and no publicly disclosed revenue figures. The company is roughly sub-scale at the team level but has accumulated depth in domain content — extensive editorial coverage of competitions by Italian region, sector (healthcare, education, military, local administration), and employer type — and has built an ancillary ecosystem of auxiliary services (PEC / SPID / digital signature, bus transport to exam venues via BusToGo, legal support) plus partnerships with Edizioni Simone (publisher), Docenti.it (school-sector teaching services), and Emplaion (AI-driven private-sector job matching). Customer concentration risk is structurally low in the traditional B2B sense but macro-cyclically high: revenue is dependent on the volume and cadence of Italian public-sector hiring.
