Back Cottbus, Brandenburg · Germany

German from A1 to C2. Then the job.

Exzellent is an education company in Cottbus. We teach German from A1 to C2 with native and expert teachers, then the skills and the career support to go with it: one path, language, then skills, then the job.

Who we are

An operating company with several branches.

At the centre is a learning ecosystem for German: live classes with a teacher who knows your name, a placement test that is free, takes about ten minutes and needs no account, and Exzi, the AI companion that helps between classes and does not replace your teacher. Around it sit the studios and services the same team runs for businesses, founders, expats and the community. Cohorts run online, in Cottbus and in Berlin.

Vision

One path: language, then skills, then the job.

Skilled people who cannot get in on one side, employers who cannot fill the roles on the other. We work on both sides of it, so that the first German word leads to the first job, and nobody has to leave and find the next school on the way.

Mission

Speak first. Perfect later.

German from A1 to C2, live, with native and expert teachers. Then the skills a language course does not teach, and the part nobody teaches: focus, consistency, confidence and direction. Then the career support: the application, the interviews, the employers. Between classes, Exzi answers in whichever language you write in.

What we do

Nine points, one company.

Education, skills, career, technology, AI-supported learning and partnerships. Each point has its own page; this is the map.

Journey · where we are now

A working product set, and a business not yet where it needs to be.

Everything on this page is stated as it is today. What is live is live; what is being built says so.

Funding, support and partnerships

Two ways in, and they are not the same conversation.

Exzellent is open to funding, strategic support and partnership conversations. Some people want to put money into the company; some want to put their name, their room, their network or an afternoon a month into it. Both are welcome, and they are different conversations.

Capital

If you want to invest

What we send you: a short written state of the business, traction, revenue, burn and the things that are not working. What we ask for: patience and a view, in that order.

Everything else

If you want to give something other than money

Mentoring, space, introductions, or a standard we should be measured against. Every one of these appears in the ledger of what we were given first.

Partnerships

Universities, employers and institutions

Semester-aligned cohorts, hiring, and the services around them. One conversation with the Cottbus team, in English or German, and we name everyone involved before anything is commissioned.
