Why LearningMate / Straive for Pulse
We bring three things that student app platform vendors typically cannot: deep UK higher education expertise, genuine bespoke build capability, and an institution-ownership model that gives universities full control of their student digital experience.
We are not selling a platform. We are designing and building something specific to your institution — with your brand, your systems, your governance, and your students at the centre of every decision.
Institution-owned, no licence dependency
You own Pulse outright. No platform licence, no revenue share, no vendor lock-in. The institution controls the roadmap.
Integrates with your estate
We connect to the systems you already have — SITS, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, library systems, accommodation — not a prescribed stack.
Built for UK higher education
Deep sector experience. We understand OfS, NSS, Clearing, widening participation, and the specific dynamics of the UK student experience.
Designed to evolve
Continuous development model post-launch. New integrations, features, and capability expansions as your institutional needs grow.
Ready to explore Pulse for your institution?
We start with a genuine conversation about your student digital experience — not a product pitch. Let's talk about where your institution is today and where you want to take it.
