ThePower Business School (formerly ThePowerMBA, now operating under the ThePower Education umbrella) is a Madrid-based online business school that replaces the traditional MBA with short, practical video lessons taught by founders and executives from companies such as Tesla, Netflix and Google. Founded in 2017, it has grown to 300,000+ students across 100+ countries and expanded beyond business into bootcamps in programming, AI, digital marketing and data, plus official Spanish vocational training (FP) and public-exam (oposiciones) prep. It raised seed rounds from edtech-focused VCs and was named LinkedIn's #1 startup in Spain in 2020.
