Discover How Laila Martins Swapped a Traditional Career for an Innovative Startup in the Educational Sector, Revolutionizing Student Recruitment
She left a solid career in a multinational to pursue her own dream – and now she is reaping the rewards of that decision! Laila Martins, a former corporate lawyer, turned a postgraduate project into a true education empire. Her startup, Saber em Rede, has already helped 100 THOUSAND students enter higher education and boasts an incredible R$ 8 MILLION in annual revenue, according to the website Exame!
From Corporate World to Entrepreneurship
Until 2017, Laila followed a traditional path in the job market. With a degree in Law, she went through trainee roles, internships, and analysis in a multinational, but felt something was missing. “The lawyer points out risks and often blocks projects. But I wanted to take risks and solve problems”, she says.
That’s when I decided to invest in the business world by pursuing a postgraduate degree at Insper. During the course, I came into contact with startups and discovered a new passion. But a major turning point came with her Thesis.

With this rapid pace, the company expects to reach R$ 10 MILLION in revenue by 2025. And the innovation doesn’t stop: one of the main ongoing projects is the implementation of artificial intelligence to improve affiliate training, making the process even more efficient.
With courage, strategic vision, and a keen eye for opportunities, Laila Martins has not only created a millionaire business but also directly impacted the future of thousands of Brazilian students. And you, are you ready to take the first step toward success?
