Co-founded in 2010 by Patrick Lund, Graduateland is Scandinavia’s largest career portal for students and graduates. Graduateland has a large network of employers and an advanced crawler engine which together enables over one million graduates from 200 countries and 5.000 different universities to browse more than 150.000 jobs and internships directly on Graduateland. Gratuateland's solution has enabled, three vital parties in the process, students/graduates, employers, and universities to connect through their network.
Combing the forces of the two largest players in the European market will not only create a European category winner, but also help students and graduates even better to find cross-border job opportunities.
Patrick Lund, CEO & Co-founder at Graduateland says: “I have known the CF team for more than a decade, and especially partner, Jesper Knudsen, has been a strong supporter and advisor to Graduateland throughout the years. It was natural that it would be Jesper and Thomas Tofte who should assist Graduateland with this process. The team at EY has vast experience in the tech market, current trends, and deal-making processes. The advisors were always accessible, and we felt they were fully committed to achieving a great result for us.”
“I have known the Graduateland founders for many years and have always been impressed by their business understanding and digital capabilities. Assisting Patrick Lund and their chairman Jens Reimer Olesen with this transaction has been true pleasure and I look forward seeing JobTeaser and Graduateland catapulting the coming years,” says Jesper Knudsen, Associate Partner at EY.
