GrowPro Experience

growpro.es ↗ ·Valencia ·Seed

GrowPro Experience was a Valencia-based edtech/travel-tech platform that bundled study-abroad admissions, visa processing, insurance, banking and SIM cards for students moving to Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand and the US. Founded in 2013 in Melbourne by two Valencian entrepreneurs, it grew to ~€40M revenue in 2023 before entering bankruptcy proceedings in January 2025 and publicly suspending operations on 21 February 2025, leaving students, staff and partners unpaid — it is defunct.
