The Wandari Story

From EngineerGame to the all-in-one platform for coaches and online academies

2000

The first steps

Alejandro started studying Computer Science on scholarships of just €300 per month. He worked with open-source but earned only about $18,000 a year.

$1M billed, $100K saved

He founded his own open-source company. He billed over $1M USD in 8 years, but lacked key business skills. After long hours he only had $100,000 in the bank.

Wandari is born

Seeing coaches and mentors juggle 8–12 different tools to sell, teach and retain students, he built Wandari: the all-in-one platform born inside EngineerGame to scale online academies without losing the human touch.

Why I built Wandari

EngineerGame taught hundreds of professionals to scale their careers. But many students wanted to go further: build their own academy, sell mentorship and create a digital business.

I saw the same pattern over and over: Hotmart for payments, Skool for community, Calendly for booking, Mailchimp for email… and zero integration. They lost time, data and students along the way.

Wandari is the answer: the technology we used internally at EngineerGame, opened up so coaches, mentors and academies can launch and scale with one login — website, courses, CRM, payments, community and AI included.

What Wandari users say

"I used five tools before and lost leads between them. With Wandari the funnel, course and community live in one place. My students feel the difference."
