Qbicart Interdisciplinary Art School

What Qbicart Interdisciplinary Art School does

Qbicart is a UK-incorporated (Qbicart Ltd, since 2017) interdisciplinary learning marketplace that delivers pedagogically-approved art, science, philosophy, drama, and digital-skills workshops to children aged 4–12, plus complementary adult programming for parents. The platform combines live online workshops, in-person sessions at cultural venues (Tate Modern, Sabancı Museum, Istanbul Modern, Dolmabahçe Palace, Four Seasons Sultanahmet, Newcastle Arts Centre), and a recently launched free membership tier (Qbicart Club). The technology stack is a web-based workshop marketplace built on Lovable Cloud infrastructure with Stripe payments, integrated live video for online sessions, and a corporate dashboard with ESG/impact reporting; Procreate (iPad) is the required tool for digital illustration tracks.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model. Consumer revenue comes from per-seat workshop fees (TRY 800–4,400 per session) and a family subscription (Aile) at TRY 999/month with a free tier (Qbicart Club) capped at 4 live workshops/month. B2B revenue is driven by institutional subscriptions priced at TRY 149/month per child (10–100 children) down to TRY 119/month per child (100–1,000 children), with custom pricing above 1,000; 200+ Turkish corporates (including Yapı Holding, Marmara Bank, Turk Telekom) cover approximately 48,000 child members under this model. Qbicart also acts as a marketplace taking a commission from independent expert instructors (40+ onboarded via a four-step application funnel), and earns affiliate revenue from international education placements through a partnership with UnitedWords covering UK, USA, Singapore, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding.

Founders Kübra Müjde Braun (Yeditepe PhD, founder since 2013 in Istanbul Emirgan) leads a lean organization. The platform surfaces 150+ programs across 15+ categories, with a stated reach of 50k+ children and families, a 4.9/5 rating across 4,700+ reviews, and a Burs Köprüsü (Scholarship Bridge) social-impact mechanic that sponsors workshops for disadvantaged children in exchange for WhatsApp referrals.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves8 records

Others

• Superprof: Global marketplace connecting students with private tutors and instructors across creative, academic, and lifestyle subjects. Comparable marketplace/instructor dynamics at a much larger scale, though not specifically focused on children's creative workshops.

Direct peers

• Outschool: Online marketplace where independent educators teach live classes to children across subjects including art, science, and creative disciplines. Closest comparable to Qbicart's online workshop marketplace model with creator/instructor delivery.
• Sawyer: Children's activities marketplace that lets providers list in-person and online classes (arts, STEM, music) and lets parents browse, book, and pay. Comparable marketplace mechanics, instructor curation, and family-facing subscription bundles.

Broad incumbents

• Varsity Tutors: Large online tutoring and enrichment platform offering live classes across academic and creative subjects. Broader and more established than Qbicart, with overlapping live class delivery and corporate/B2B offerings, but lacks the cultural-venue in-person anchor.

Emerging players

• Juni Learning: Live online STEM and coding classes for kids, delivered 1-on-1 and in small groups by vetted instructors. Comparable in live online delivery and instructor marketplace dynamics, though narrower in subject (STEM-focused vs. Qbicart's interdisciplinary scope).
• Create & Learn: Live online STEM, coding, and creative classes for kids (ages 5–17) taught by vetted instructors, with small group format. Comparable in live online small-group pedagogy and instructor curation, though STEM-leaning rather than Qbicart's arts/philosophy breadth.
• The Art of Education University: Provider of art education content, courses, and workshops (originally for educators, expanding to students). Comparable in arts education positioning and curated instructor content, though its primary customer is art teachers rather than children/families directly.

Regional players

• Smallpeice Trust: UK-based provider of STEM and creative residential/day programs for young people. Comparable as a UK-headquartered enrichment provider for children, though oriented to STEM rather than Qbicart's arts/philosophy interdisciplinary focus.
