Felix Ohswald - Gründerszene x The Delta

Our Hero Founder Series with Felix Ohswald at The Delta Campus. What does it take to build Europe's first edtech unicorn and then lead it through the sector's biggest reset in a decade? Felix Ohswald has done exactly that. As founder of GoStudent, he built one of the world's largest 1:1 online tutoring platforms, scaling across markets in Europe and Latin America and reaching a valuation among the highest ever achieved by a European edtech company. Along the way, GoStudent lived through the hypergrowth years of the pandemic boom, and then the sharper, more disciplined market that followed - a period that forced a rethink of what the business, and the sector, actually needed to work. Today, Felix is also the founder of Brutal.AI, and that same rethink centres on AI: where it genuinely improves learning, and where the human tutor remains irreplaceable. At The Delta Campus, Felix will join us for an in-depth conversation about building a category-defining company from Vienna, leading through a hype cycle and its correction, and what he's learned about deploying AI responsibly inside a business built on human relationships. A conversation about conviction, discipline, and building for the long term. Gründerszene x The Delta is the monthly pulse of the Berlin startup ecosystem, bringing together around 200 founders, investors, operators, corporates, and enablers who are building the future together. This is the place for real conversations, meaningful connections, and ideas that aim to make an impact from Berlin.
