Bring derivatives education to the entire cohort
Flat-rate institutional license. Every student at your school gets Pro access via their school email — no individual subscriptions, no per-seat counting, no students paying out of pocket. Built to map directly to a typical derivatives MSc syllabus, with content depth from forwards to LSV and from Itō to autocallables.
Pricing math — why a flat license is the right move
If your students paid the standard €19/month Pro tier individually, here's what your cohort would spend per academic year. A flat institutional license costs a fraction of these numbers, students never see a paywall, and your finance/business school positions itself alongside peers offering top-tier derivatives tooling.
| Cohort size | If everyone pays individually | Flat institutional license |
|---|---|---|
| 30 students | €6,840 / yr | Contact us — substantial discount |
| 60 students | €13,680 / yr | Contact us — substantial discount |
| 120 students | €27,360 / yr | Contact us — substantial discount |
| 240 students | €54,720 / yr | Contact us — substantial discount |
Final pricing depends on cohort size, duration (1-year vs multi-year contract), and whether you want light co-branding. Most licenses land in the low four-digit euros per year. Email us for a quote.
What's included
How it maps to a derivatives course
Eight high-level topics typical of an MSc Financial Markets / Quant Finance derivatives module, and the corresponding surfaces on the platform.
| Topic | Concepts (free) | Pricers | Coach Q&A | Cheat sheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forwards & no-arbitrage | 5 pages (option-is-a-right, strike/spot/forward, forward-is-not-prediction, …) | Compare pricer | Forwards & Options · Foundations | — |
| Black-Scholes & Greeks | Greeks-without-math, vol vs direction, time decay, why-buy-options | Vanilla pricer + 3D surface | Greeks · Foundations · Options | Greeks · Black-Scholes |
| Volatility models (BS / LV / Heston / LSV) | Implicit in vol-vs-direction + risk-neutral-intuition | Vanilla pricer (surface) | Vol Models | Vol Models · Itō & Risk-Neutral |
| Structured products | 4 pages (Discount, Bonus, Reverse Conv, Turbo) | Structured pricer + 2D payoff | Turbo · Discount · Bonus | Structured Products · Barrier Options |
| Fixed income & rates | — | Fixed Income pricer (bonds, durations, DV01) | Bonds | Fixed Income |
| Stochastic calculus & risk-neutral | Risk-neutral-intuition, no-arbitrage | — | Foundations (Itō, Girsanov, FTAP, …) | Itō & Risk-Neutral |
| Numerical methods | — | Vanilla / Structured pricers (closed-form + MC) | Python for quant | — |
| Interview prep — quant / IB / S&T | Full 15-page walkthrough | All pricers | Full 13 categories, ~165 Q&A · Flash card mode | All 7 cheat sheets · printable PDFs |
The platform deliberately combines four modalities: concept pages for intuition, pricers for experimentation, Q&A for practice, cheat sheets for reference. Students cycle through them as the same topic deepens — pedagogically self-reinforcing.
How it works
- 1. Contract. We agree on cohort size, duration, and pricing. Standard institutional contract, GDPR DPA included. Signature and PO within a week.
- 2. Domain whitelist. Your email domain (or domains, for multi-program institutions) is added to the auto-promotion list. We confirm with a test signup using a test address at your domain.
- 3. Optional landing page. For institutions with light co-branding, we set up a dedicated landing page at
school-name.derivativesinsights.comwith your logo and a welcome message. Same product, branded entry point. - 4. Communication to students. We send your program coordinator a short announcement template (email / Moodle / intranet). Students sign up, sign in, instant Pro access.
- 5. Quarterly check-in. Anonymised usage summary, content-roadmap input, address any questions from your program coordinator.
FAQ
How does the auto-promotion work?
Under a valid license, every email at the institution's domain (e.g. @skema.edu, @essec.fr) is automatically promoted to the Pro tier on signup and on every login. No manual provisioning, no spreadsheet of student emails to maintain. Off-campus accounts go through normal Pro pricing.
Can we invoice with a purchase order and bank transfer?
Yes. Standard invoice format with VAT handling, your billing details, and a purchase-order number. Wire transfer to a French bank account; SEPA preferred for EU institutions. Card payments also accepted via Stripe Checkout (once activated).
What about GDPR? Do you provide a DPA?
Yes. A Data Processing Agreement is part of the institutional contract. Sub-processors are documented (Railway for hosting, Resend for email, Cloudflare for DNS/CDN) — all GDPR-compliant. Student data is minimal (email + bcrypt password hash + plan + timestamps), no tracking, no analytics cookies. See our Privacy Policy.
What happens when students graduate?
They keep access as long as they sign in with their school email — until the school license expires or the email domain stops working. We don't actively deprovision based on enrollment status (would require an integration with your registrar). Most institutions are comfortable with the natural attrition of school-email accounts.
Can we add the institution's logo / brand?
Light co-branding (your logo on a custom landing page for your students) is available on enterprise tier. Standard institutional license uses the Derivatives Insights brand throughout.
Do students see a paywall ever?
No. Under a valid license, the only difference for your students vs the Free tier is that the Coach Q&A and Cheat Sheets become accessible without any payment prompt. Same experience, no upsell.
How long does setup take?
Once the contract is signed, configuration takes under 15 minutes — we add your email domain to the auto-promotion list and confirm with a test signup. Your students can use the platform the same day.
Can teachers see usage data?
On enterprise tier, the program coordinator gets a quarterly anonymised summary (number of active students, most-accessed topics, peak usage times). We don't share individual student activity — privacy-preserving by design.
