Start A Gamified Courses And Classes Business

Here are some real life success stories of starting a gamified courses and classes business:

1. Morningscore ($660K/year)

Karsten Madsen (from Odense, Denmark) started Morningscore about 5 years ago.

Revenue
$55K / month
Team
4 founders / 9 employees

Case Study

I am the co-founder and CEO of Morningscore - an SEO tool built like a computer game. The tool gives you “missions'' that you have to complete. Once you do you level up your website. And as a bonus, you also grow your Google traffic in real life and make money for your business. We sell this software on a subscription basis. So we are a classic SAAS tool.

Luckily many customers seem to dig it. In roughly 3 years we managed to get +600 customers and reach an MRR of 40,000 USD. Nothing extraordinary but we did this without VC funding and still managed to do roughly 300% year over year growth on revenue the last 3 years.

2. Games for Business ($480K/year)

Balázs Vendler (from Pécs, Magyarország) started Games for Business about 7 years ago.

Revenue
$40K / month
Team
3 founders / 15 employees

Case Study

Together with my team, we develop a game-based learning platform, and our goal is to make learning loveable for as many large organizations as possible. Our clients are mostly multinational organizations in knowledge-intensive industries, like finance, engineering, telecommunications, IT, or consultancy.

I started Games for Business in 2016, and very quickly, within only 3 years we managed to do projects on 3 continents. Based on our professional and business success, Austria’s largest private education group has acquired the company. When I started Games for Business, I planned to establish a company with which I can achieve international professional recognition, and which will establish my total existential independence. By selling the company, I achieved both of my goals.
