Founder
Built by someone who was the customer.
Alex Pereira is a dual British and Portuguese national in the final year of a Business Management and Finance degree at St Mary's University, London. In 2023 he tried to apply to ISEG in Lisbon: separate portals, a sworn translation, an apostille, a grade conversion nobody would confirm, and no one to ask. He gave up, and in July 2025 incorporated Graduate Anywhere Limited to build what he needed.
Since then he has written the business plan, built a prototype front-end for course discovery, shortlisting and fee calculation, secured the graduateanywhere and graduatefinancing domain families, and begun the regulatory and route research set out on this page. He is currently the sole director and works on the company alongside his studies; university and school outreach starts this autumn.
What the company needs around the table
- A technical co-founder or lead engineer with marketplace or regulated-service experience
- An adviser from university admissions or international recruitment
- An adviser with UK data-protection and FCA-perimeter experience
- Two or three sixth forms willing to pilot the schools resource
"UCAS is one of the great pieces of British public infrastructure. The only thing wrong with it is that it stops at the border."
