Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world experience — helping learners grow through challenges, and giving organizations access to fresh thinking and emerging talent.
We create purposeful collaborations driven by curiosity, grounded in real needs, and focused on measurable outcomes.
Because in a fast-changing world, learning and working can no longer be separate.
Reg Revans formulates L = P + Q at the UK National Coal Board: real learning happens when programmed knowledge meets honest questioning of real problems.
Telanto, founded by Ewance's eventual founder, brings industry-challenge platforms to brands like SAP, Takeda, Mercedes, Allianz. Sells to universities and companies — but never to the students whose work made it valuable.
A different company, built by Telanto's founder. Free to start, theirs to own. Two technologies that didn't exist at scale in 2015 carry the next chapter: AI for matching and rubric feedback, blockchain for credential portability.
Students solve real challenges; Ewance signs and anchors each credential on-chain via LearnCoin. Recruiters verify in one click — independent of Ewance, forever.
Leading universities and companies worldwide use Ewance to bridge education and industry, creating opportunities for students and driving innovation.
