Build pathways, not infrastructure
Every course, event, and cohort on campus is a channel. Whether you teach them or recruit them, KANU is what you put inside: experiences in, ventures out, proof throughout. That is how a small office grows a whole ecosystem at scale.

FOR THE PROGRAM MANAGER
Run a campus-wide program without adding headcount.
Competitions, cohorts and courses all deploy from the same place, so a program grows without a second coordinator. Florida Southern went from 25 students to 400+ on one full-time employee.

FOR THE MARKETING LEAD
Real student businesses, not another program announcement.
Every venture your students launch is a public storefront under your school's banner, with real customers and real revenue behind it. That is a story with receipts, and it refreshes itself every term.

“KANU helped me bring real-world content into the classroom. It's clever and packed with powerful content, and it made a real difference in how my students engaged.”
Teresa
Professor, University of the Incarnate Word
“Students experience entrepreneurship firsthand, launching their own online storefronts to take an idea from concept to customer. The best part is guiding students as they discover what works and when they need to pivot as they are also making connections to course concepts.”

The old way to get students real-world experience is placement coordination, and it's slow by nature.

A campus challenge and starter activities are free to run with real students.
Course experiences start from $750. Campus-wide scope is set in a conversation, after we understand your program.
No. The free challenge runs on a standard account you can create today.
They run ready-made experiences inside courses they already teach. Invites go out by link.
Any point. Browser-based, nothing to install; a challenge can launch the week you decide.
No. KANU runs alongside any course and any system you already use.
You could build a tracker, and some centers have. What's hard to rebuild is what's underneath: live storefronts with real customers, student payments, a library of course-ready experiences, campus-wide competitions, and an outcome record your board will trust. Your team's time is the scarcest resource in the building. Spend it on students, not on software.
KANU is built to support your institution's data obligations. Bring your specific requirements to a call.
