Our Story
How we became Israel's largest community.
We started in October 2024 with one WhatsApp group at the Open University. Within two days - 8,000 members. Today - 49,542 verified students at the Open University. Without a single shekel on marketing.
Mission
Our Mission.
To build the most active, verified and measurable student community in Israel - and connect it to brands that provide real value to students.
Vision
Our Vision.
Scaling from Israel across Europe and beyond, toward 120,000 students by the end of 2027, including our global launch.
A private, independent community.
Stud-Net is a private and independent initiative - not officially affiliated with the Open University or the student unions of these institutions. Operations are managed by students, for students - without institutional bureaucracy or organizational dependence.
The community is intended first and foremost for undergraduate students, but some dedicated groups include graduates as well - enriching discussions and enabling inter-generational connections within the community.
