StuDocu is a crowdsourced online learning and sharing platform for students where students can share study material. StuDocu is mainly used for book summaries, lecture notes and exam questions. Their business model is based on subscription access for premium documents.

History
StuDocu was founded in 2013 by four students at the Technical University of Delft as Studeersnel.nl, the Dutch version of the website. After noticing that a lot of useful study materials were only available to a few well-connected students they worked to create an open platform that was accessible by everyone.

In 2014, StuDocu received an angel investment of €125,000 from one of the founders of the Dutch social media platform Hyves, Koen Kam. In 2015, Peak Capital and Point Nine Capital invested €1,35 Million. In 2016, StuDocu was nominated for the EY Dutch Entrepreneur of the year award.
