InoUP

What InoUP does

InoUP (اینوآپ) is an Iranian EdTech and workforce-development platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Iran, operating as a private, founder-led company with 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding. The platform combines a web portal (inoup.ir), an Android APK, and a Windows desktop application (both v1.2.6) to deliver approximately 285 specialized courses to around 4,167 registered learners. Its catalog spans structured job-readiness packages (HR, Scrum Master, Network Security, Digital Marketing, Copywriter, Blockchain Developer), standalone soft- and hard-skills courses (Effective Communication, Teamwork, Verbal Intelligence, Persuasion, Scrum Coaching, AI Tools), online live workshops, and in-person bootcamps — most of which carry bilingual (Farsi/English) certificates co-issued with Khajeh Nasir al-Din Toosi University.

The company's underlying technology stack is a self-serve online learning management system augmented by an AI-powered Smart Advisor (ai.inoup.ir) that provides personalized career guidance and course recommendations, available as a web-based conversational tool integrated into the InoUP ecosystem. Distribution is multi-channel: direct digital self-serve via website and apps, plus physical touchpoints through bootcamps, online workshops, and on-site organizational training. Pricing is in Iranian Toman and ranges from free orientation courses to comprehensive professional packages priced up to 38,990,000 Toman.

InoUP generates revenue through four primary streams: individual course sales, professional skills packages sold as one-time licenses (often with installment options), organizational/B2B training services for enterprises, and job placement / employment guarantee services delivered through a network of 150+ partner companies. The integrated pathway from talent identification and skills training through paid internship to employment guarantee (for participants scoring 90–100) or partner referral (80–90) is the company's central commercial hook and the basis of its value proposition for job seekers, career changers, university students, and corporate clients in Iran.

Revenue model

1. Individual Course Sales: Individual learners purchase single courses and learning packages on a one-time or subscription basis. Courses like Scrum Master comprehensive (14,890,000 Toman), Art of Persuasion (500,000 Toman), and Effective Communication (950,000 Toman) are priced individually.
2. Professional Skills Packages (Bourseh Shoghl): Bundle packages covering complete job-ready skill pathways (e.g., HR package with 21 courses over 3 months, Scrum Master professional package with 90 hours/156 modules). Sold as one-time purchases, sometimes with installment payment options.
3. Organizational Training Services: B2B services where organizations commission customized training programs for their workforce, including course design, effectiveness evaluation, bilingual certificates, and online workshops.
4. Job Placement / Employment Guarantee: Job placement support — participants scoring 90-100 on projects receive employment guarantee; those scoring 80-90 are referred to partner companies. Acts as a key differentiator driving course enrollment.
