400,000 students sit SPM. Three apps are built for them.
FlashShare is the study platform Malaysian students were never given: best-in-class spaced repetition, a syllabus curated for the papers they actually sit, past papers in one place, and the social layer that keeps a whole cohort studying. 300 students are using it today. We are raising to reach the rest.

The problem
A compulsory exam. No modern tool for it.
Every Malaysian secondary student sits SPM, and pre-university students sit A-Level, AUSMAT or STPM. Their parents already spend real money every month trying to get them through it. The software they are handed was either built for a different country or built without the science.

Apps built for SPM
Out of 210,006 education apps on the App Store. Only nine are made for Malaysians at all.
413,299 registered for SPM 2025; 406,200 sat the papers, 98.21% of those registered. New Straits Times, Bernama. Monthly tuition and App Store category counts are internal estimates and are not yet independently sourced.
The whole education app store, and almost none of it for us
This is the opportunity in one picture. A category with a quarter of a million products has effectively skipped an entire country's national exam.
Grid drawn to true scale: 1056 squares at ~199 apps each. App Store education category, surveyed 2026 — an internal count, not yet independently sourced.
The gap
Everyone owns one piece. Nobody owns all four.
Anki has the best scheduler and no local content. Pandai has the syllabus and no scheduler. Nobody has collaboration, and everybody charges more than a Malaysian student will pay.
Where the market actually sits
Retention science on one axis, built for the Malaysian syllabus on the other. The top right corner is empty, and that is the entire thesis.

Market size
A large market with no dominant player.
Malaysia's edtech market is big and still fragmented. We are not trying to win all of it. We are trying to own the exam-revision layer for the cohort that has to buy something anyway.
TAM

Malaysia's total edtech market.
TSM

RM406.8M
All Form 4 to 5 and pre-university learners, 1,130,000 students at the market-mid annual digital revision spend of RM360.
SAM

TAM RM4.82B is the Malaysia edtech market at USD 1,179.2M (2025 base year), converted at RM4.088 per USD. IMARC Group, Malaysia Edtech Market, which forecasts USD 3,072.8M by 2034 at 10.89% CAGR. TSM1,130,000 Form 4–5 and pre-university learners at RM360 annual digital revision spend. SAM ~70% of the SPM cohort plus full pre-U, at our RM79.90 annual price. SOM1.5–2.2% of SAM within two years of launch. TAM is third-party and linked above. TSM, SAM and SOM are our own arithmetic from the cohort and price inputs shown; the learner count and the RM360 spend assumption are internal estimates and are not yet independently sourced.
Business model
Priced for a student, not a procurement team.
Four ways in, each matched to how Malaysian families actually spend: a cheap sprint during exam season, a monthly habit, an annual plan a parent pays for, and seats sold to schools.
SPM Sprint Pass
RM2990 days
Matches the exam-season influx. Students who would never start a subscription will buy a sprint.
Gold Monthly
RM12.90per month, at launch
A 30% increase on the RM9.90 beta price, with minimal elasticity risk at this level.
Gold Annual
RM99per year, at launch
The plan parents pay for, and three times lower than Pandai.
Corporate Seats
RM35per seat, per year
Sold to schools and state education offices, where one signature covers a whole cohort.
Why the September window matters
Intent to buy is not evenly spread across the year. It spikes when trial results land and students realise November is close. Our first-year plan is timed around that, not around a launch date we picked.
From 300 to 20,000
300 students are on the platform today, in the first closed beta. The month 12 target does not assume mass conversion, only that a small paying slice of a much larger free base behaves the way freemium study apps normally do.
Beta pricing is RM9.90 per month and RM79.90 per year. Launch pricing shown above. The serviceable market is calculated at the RM79.90 annual figure, so it does not assume the increase lands.
Valuation
Valued at RM1.5 million today.
RM1.5MIndicative valuation · no priced round has closed
Set independently by multiple startup accelerators, on a product that is already built and already in students' hands. Not a projection, not a founder's number.
Traction
Already built. Already being used.
We are early, and deliberately so. 300 students are on the platform in our first closed beta, a second round opens shortly, and both app stores follow within a month.
Where we are
Two founders, shipping weekly, out of a live school pilot.
Why it spreads without ad spend
Study rooms and shared decks make the product travel between friends inside one school, then between schools. Distribution is a feature, not a line item.
The long game
The flashcards are the instrument. The data is the asset.
Every review already records what was asked, how it was answered, and how long the student hesitated before answering. Nobody holds that at cohort scale for SPM, because nobody has had the students on one system before.
One tap, five levels up
A single card review is a small fact. Aggregated, the same fact answers a question a school cannot currently ask at all.
What it can answer
Six of these are answerable from data being written today. The seventh is the reason the other six are worth holding.
The end of this is not a better flashcard app. It is telling a student the one topic to revise tonight, and telling a school where its year group is quietly falling behind — both from evidence, months before a trial paper would have shown it.
Use of funds
Every ringgit converts into users.
Three things, all of which turn directly into signups during the September trial season.
01
App Store and infrastructure
Server, database and infrastructure maintenance, plus App Store enterprise licence operations, funded for twelve months.
02
Marketing campaign
Targeted campaigns during the high-stakes September SPM trial exam window, when intent to buy is at its annual peak.
03
Content creation
Contracting highly experienced educators to structure core curated flashcard content, so quality is not crowd-dependent.

Next step
Let's talk before the September window.
Our whole first-year plan is timed around the SPM trial season. We would rather have this conversation now than after it closes. We will send the deck, the pilot data as it stands, and an honest list of what is not built yet.
