Company profile
researched Aug 2026GoKoan is a Valencia-based digital teaching and learning platform for candidates preparing Spanish competitive public-sector examinations (oposiciones). The product combines study planning, guided syllabus content, practice tests with justified answers, and continuous assessment, with the stated aim of optimising study time by adapting to each user's availability, level and progress.
The platform is offered in two formats. "Método" is a structured, longer-horizon preparation system that builds a study plan, schedules reviews, tracks progress and prioritises weak areas; "Mini" is a lighter routine centred on practice tests with feedback for users who want a short daily habit or a final push before an exam. Both are preceded by a seven-day free trial that does not require a payment card. An assistant named Sofía answers content questions in-app with hints and explanations of errors.
Coverage spans state-level exams and regional convocatorias including Comunidad de Madrid, Comunitat Valenciana, Andalucía, Xunta de Galicia, Extremadura, Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha, as well as common regulations, local corporations and universities. Exam families addressed include administration, tax (Hacienda), health, justice, prisons, security forces and education, with the site highlighting large-intake roles such as Auxiliar Administrativo del Estado, Administrativo de la Seguridad Social, Administrativo del Estado and Tramitación Procesal.
Founding story
The company was founded in 2017 and is co-founded and led by CEO Clara Torrijos, who was named among 32 leading women in the Spanish startup ecosystem by Startup Valencia in March 2022.
Business model
Subscription access to an online study platform, sold directly to individual exam candidates, with a seven-day free trial (no card required) followed by a choice between the fuller "Método" plan and the lighter test-focused "Mini" plan.
Consumer subscriptions to the two plan tiers. The company states that its use of technology and artificial intelligence to create syllabus material, produce audio, answer questions and generate questions and activities lowers production time and cost, allowing lower prices.
Latest developments
Users report the addition of an AI assistant for day-to-day syllabus questions, and the site now presents two distinct product tiers, Método and Mini, alongside the seven-day free trial.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography
Market position
Operates in the e-learning / edtech sector serving the Spanish oposiciones preparation market, and is listed in the Startup Valencia ecosystem directory as a B2C startup.
The company positions Método as more than test drilling: a complete system providing a study plan and ordering of topics, guided syllabus content, learning from errors with explanations, progress tracking that prioritises the highest-impact gaps, and long-term structure. It also cites AI-driven content production as the reason it can price the service lower.
Technology
The platform is built around a proprietary algorithm that generates an intelligent study plan tied to the student's availability and real-time progress. The "método Koan" combines memory-psychology principles — the forgetting curve, spaced repetition and continuous adaptation to level, availability and evolution — with artificial intelligence used for planning, recommending what to review, generating questions and activities, producing audio, and powering the Sofía assistant that answers questions with hints and explanations of mistakes. The public site runs on a stack that includes Angular, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, PWA, jQuery libraries, MediaElement.js, Google Sign-in, reCAPTCHA and Klaro.
