Your ticket to freedom
I really enjoyed Instagram University 4.0. What stands out most is Niklas’s presentation style—he is incredibly honest about his own life experiences, which makes the content feel relatable rather than just another sales pitch. It’s rare to find a mentor who is this transparent about the highs and lows of their journey. Highly recommended for the mindset shifts alone!

Full marks for enthusiasm
Full marks for enthusiasm, I just felt it was all a bit disjointed and thrown together and not clear on exactly how one can implement these actions. I wasn't sure if I was finished the first module of the University course or not. It said I was only 7% into it but I couldn't go any further. It seems like the entire thing is set up in order to force you into the mentorship program, which seems interesting but not for someone with limited funds to invest.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback.
We appreciate you highlighting this, and we understand how clarity around structure and progression is important, especially early on. The course is designed in stages, and some sections are intentionally front-loaded with context before opening up additional material, which can occasionally cause confusion around completion progress. If your course says you are only 7% done, then you have not watched all the course material. Have you clicked the red drop down arrow in the modules that show you the rest of the course work?
Instagram University is not designed to force anyone into mentorship. The core program stands on its own, while mentorship is offered separately for those who want additional support and acceleration. We completely respect that this won’t be the right option for everyone, particularly depending on personal circumstances.
Your feedback is valuable and helps us refine both the experience and how expectations are set. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Expected More on Content Creating
The video gave valuable information on mindsets and habits to set as an entrepreneur but it did not give instructions on how to set up the theme page. I thought I was buying a course on setting up a theme page and I received mentorship and coaching. Not complaining but it’s not what I was expecting. Good information and I watched every video in one setting so that says a lot!

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback 🙏
Instagram University is designed to first build the right foundations around mindset, structure, and clarity before moving into execution, which can sometimes feel different from expectations early on. We understand how that may come across if you were hoping to dive straight into theme page setup.
As the program progresses, the focus shifts more clearly into application and implementation, with the earlier material intended to support long-term results rather than short-term tactics. We appreciate you taking the time to work through the content and share your perspective, feedback like this genuinely helps us improve how we communicate and structure the experience.

What you shared perfectly reflects the intention behind Instagram University 4.0, clarity over hype, structure over noise, and realistic expectations over overpromising. Feeling capable, aligned, and clear on the path forward is far more powerful than short-term motivation alone.

500k+ In Income Business Owners RUN AWAY!
This review is for Instagram University -Niklas Pedde's higher tiered program for entrepreneurs doing 500k+ more in revenue who are considering their one on one high level program priced between 18k euros.
I met with Max Gmoser on Jan 7th, who immediately led with the fact that he is twenty nine years old. Unfortunately, it became very clear during the call that he lacked both business and sales acumen. I spent a full hour on the call with him. We were moving toward a potential agreement when the scheduled time ended, and I had another paid client meeting starting exactly on the hour.
Rather than respecting that boundary, he told me I needed to cancel or push back my paying client so we could finish the call. I declined and suggested we schedule a follow up to finalize the details. I was open to moving forward and even willing to break the investment into payments, not because I could not afford it, but because I was not comfortable paying the full amount upfront without being fully sold.
His response was that they do not do follow up calls and that if I did not join immediately, the opportunity was over. I was genuinely surprised by this approach. I have personally sold programs at the twenty five thousand dollar level, and this tactic was neither professional nor effective. When I confirmed that I was still willing to move forward, I was then told they could not do that either.
After the call, I did my own due diligence and spoke directly with someone who had been in their one on one program last year at a lower price point. He left after two months because he was not receiving the level of one on one support that had been promised.
At that point, it was clear I had dodged a bullet. These types of companies are becoming increasingly aggressive and careless as they pop up, and this was a very poor representation of their brand. I was genuinely shocked at how much time was wasted and how poorly the company was represented. The entire experience was truly unbelievable.

Success around the corner.
Niklas Pedde's Instagram University has been very informative and helpful when it comes to building up business strength and strategies utilizing Instagram. I have joined other online business ventures before but I felt abandoned after paying up bigger amount of money. Here with Niklas Pedde, I may have been bombard with informations and email motivations but that's what makes it different from other businesses platforms, I feel included and valued. Everything is way more than worth the money I paid for. I'm happy to come across this opportunity!

Great course so far, still on module 1, the long webinar replays could probably work in the end. In the beginning I would have loved to dive into the actual work.

We appreciate you mentioning this, the early modules are intentionally designed to build clarity and foundation before moving into execution, but we completely understand the desire to dive straight into the practical work.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.
While much information exists online, Instagram University is designed to save people time by providing structured frameworks, clear implementation steps, and guidance based on real-world experience, not scattered or contradictory advice.
That said, we understand that not every program will be the right fit for everyone, and we appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
We wish you all the best moving forward.
People out there should be more exposed on how to generate extra income and open up their horizon on how to make extra income and to retire comfortably.
To me this IGU.4 is a course put well together for beginners like myself. Although it's not so comprehensive but still for beginner's can start it and easy step by step for you to set up your IG.
