Behind The Beans

Launched in 2005 by brothers James Eder and Michael Eder, studentbeans.com is now a leading student portal which attracts over 6 million visits and over 300,000 new registered users every year.

The name of studentbeans.com is based around the idea that studentbeans.com is as essential to student life as a can of baked beans - a staple part of every student diet.

After graduating from university, James and Michael visited Birmingham businesses to see if they would be interested in working with studentbeans.com before a website was even launched, making the process seem remarkably similar to The Apprentice, minus the cameras, Lord Sugar and a luxury London mansion...

As soon as the first few brands signed up, James and Michael realised they were on to a winner. Within six months, half of the Birmingham student population had signed up to studentbeans.com. A year later, studentbeans.com went national and has become the UK's leading student website.
