ODEM has an exceptional advisory board, with KPMG Switzerland, SICOS and BlockScience supporting the initiative. ODEM, which aspires to be the Airbnb of international education, is partnering with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Excelorators Inc in the design and rollout of the ODEM Platform.

Excelorators, established in 2012, has existing relationships with more than 200 professors and lecturers who are set to become early adopters. It has proved that the business model used by ODEM is successful. Over the next 12 months, ODEM and Excelorators expect to generate $10million sales as they transition Excelorators' customer base into a beta version of the ODEM Platform.
