About us

Not one company.
One connected ecosystem.

Look Abroad is the international layer of an operational network that already runs across Austria, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan — legal infrastructure, education, language training, student community, and on-the-ground support. Each entity plays a specific role in the same system.

Track record — Ukraine

A proven pipeline,
already at scale.

Dyvys Shyrshe runs a full pre-departure ecosystem in Ukraine — feeding directly into the Look Abroad pipeline.

ServiceFormatDescription
der Hammer Language school Courses in German, English, and Slovak — group and individual formats, exam preparation, ongoing cohorts year-round.
DyvysCamp — Austria tours Educational tour Multi-day group trips to Austria: university visits, city orientation, housing demonstrations, and direct exposure to student life before enrollment.
DyvysCamp — camps Camp programme Seasonal camps combining language practice, cultural immersion, and education/career orientation for teenagers and young adults.
Orientation webinars Online Regular sessions for students and parents on studying in Austria, application process, and what to expect after arrival.
Community & alumni network Community An active peer community of students who completed the Dyvys → Look Abroad → Austria pathway — now a built-in referral and support layer.

This pipeline is the proof of concept for the Student Mobility OS — a pre-departure ecosystem feeding a structured post-arrival infrastructure, already running end to end for Ukrainian students heading to Austria.

The expertise
behind the system.

Dmytro Vyhovskyy
Dmytro
Vyhovskyy
Founder & CEO

Built from the inside out.

Dmytro didn't enter the student mobility market as an outsider — he built the infrastructure himself, from both ends. He started on the Ukrainian side: launching der Hammer language school, running DyvysCamp educational tours to Austria, and developing the pre-departure pipeline that hundreds of students have gone through. He knows exactly what happens at every stage before a student boards a plane.

On the Austrian side, he established Bildungshorizonte as the legal and operational entity on the ground — handling housing, registration, legal support, and local onboarding. He built partner relationships with Erste Bank, OEAD, ÖSD, and others not through referrals, but through years of operational work. He knows which problems agencies encounter because he solved them first himself.

The result is a system that works because it was designed from real experience — not theory. When partners join Look Abroad, they're accessing infrastructure that has been stress-tested, refined, and already running at volume across two countries.
