Did you know Grasple is a contraction of the words grapple and grasp?
To grapple means you're struggling with something, and to grasp means you finally understand it, especially something difficult. And that's what we do here at Grasple. We help students better understand the concepts of mathematics and statistics!
Being a part of our team means you make a social impact on education worldwide. At the same time, we give you lots of freedom, responsibility and possibilities to learn. Together with your co-workers you design, build and deploy a beautiful product used to transform education.
Besides that, we have an awesome office at the Marineterrein in Amsterdam, daily delicious lunch and we offer you a well-deserved relaxation allowance. You'll also get your own Swapfiets to make your way through the city.
Working in education at Grasple is incredibly rewarding: You can build lasting relationships, develop your strengths, and grow in a supportive, dynamic team that thrives on lively debates. You’ll directly impact the future of education and help make learning accessible globally. Enjoy the ride with plenty of challenges along the way!

How would we describe our team? Well, we're definitely ambitious, inspired, and – often, but not always – good at math. Contributing to an overarching social mission is what motivates us. But we'd rather let our team tell you more. Here's what they say:
"At Grasple, I have the freedom to independently take on new challenges, to experiment, and to influence the roadmap and choices we make. Together with the team we improve open education a little bit every day!”
Eric, Developer at Grasple"I get to help educators make their Maths and Stats courses more stimulating and fun for students. And I use their experiences to help create a better platform. I love feeling like my work makes a difference for them, their students, and future users!"
Ellen, Project Manager at Grasple
Grasple is a social enterprise. It's our mission to make difficult concepts understandable and accessible to everyone. Especially when it comes to mathematics and statistics. For this, we've built an online practice and assessment platform where educators can create interactive exercises that they can share with their students and the rest of the world.
What makes us unique, is that we use openly accessible materials, shared under a creative common license. Grasple therefore has a very different business model than commercial publishers. We're free for individuals, and universities simply pay to receive useful functionalities and integrations.
Currently, more than 40 universities and colleges around the world use Grasple in their education. In the near future, we hope to increase this number even more.
