Today they are part of the Katapult community, because the Innovation Fund has recognized their potential. Wishing to accelerate their development, gain new skills and knowledge in business, they have applied to participate in the Katapult acceleration program. Young entrepreneurs have set themselves high goals. “Many university students, just like elementary pupils and high school students, are constantly looking for good teachers who will help them to master the material through individual classes and private lessons,” confirmed Marijana and Jana.

Finding quality teaching staff is also one of the most demanding endeavors. Then, establishing a balance between offers and demands on the site, ensuring each professor registered on the site has a sufficient number of scheduled classes, and on the other hand, every parent or student looking for private lessons can find an adequate professor. One of the first challenges the EasyPass team faces is educating users about the existence of online private lessons services. The field of non-formal education is a relatively new field to our market. At that moment there was also a need for additional classes and private lessons. It took some time for teachers and students to adapt to the online classes model. The school system was forced to operate online. The platform was created in the midst of a Covid-19 pandemic, because that is the period when the first problems of distance learning appeared. Every student or pupil used to need help with studying, and there is also a great demand for acquiring skills which are learned through courses and sessions,” said Marijana and Jana. “The demand for private lessons and assistance in studying and improving skills is growing from day to day. They have developed the EasyPass digital platform which connects teachers and students in just a few clicks.

Therefore, they came up with the idea to speed up, improve and simplify the educational process, while maintaining consistent quality. Even as students they faced a lack of time in the process of acquiring new knowledge and skills. Young innovators Jana Antić and Marijana Jovanović have founded the startup EasyPass with the idea of making the studying path easier for students and professors.
