Sdui founding story

Founders Daniel Zacharias and Jan Micha Kroll came up with the idea for Sdui in 2015, when they were students at the Martin-Butzer-Gymnasium in Dierdorf: they didn’t want to hear about it only at school when lessons were cancelled. They developed a digital solution (initially called “Basic P”) for the “Jugend forscht” competition. Due to the positive response and high demand, they continued to pursue the idea of their app after graduating from secondary school. On 8 February 2018, they officially founded the Sdui GmbH in Koblenz. In May 2018, the Sdui app was implemented for the first customers. From the very beginning, Sdui’s goal has been to simplify communication and organisation in schools and daycare centres, and to use digital solutions to make a lasting change in everyday school life. Today, we express our motivation in our purpose slogan:
EMPOWER HUMANS TO TRANSFORM EDUCATION FOR A BETTER TOMORROW!
