Business Spotlight: Study Tok

From a TY Mini Company project to an AI-powered study app with an ambitious plan to raise €500,000, Sean Cahill and Paddy Corcoran are taking StudyTok way beyond the classroom. They tell Valerie how the idea was born while they were meant to be studying for the Junior Cert… and ended up doom-scrolling instead. That “TikTok but for study” concept turned into an app that hit tens of thousands of downloads after one viral video. They also break down how StudyTok keeps content accurate using past exam papers and notes, what makes it different (scrollable feed + adaptive learning), and what it’s like building a business while sitting the Leaving Cert.
