Learning communities are creating the change we want to see in the world.
Disco exists to enable that change.
Our Story
Learning and community, together at last.
We believe decentralized learning communities will be the most effective way to create change in the world. These niche, purpose-built learning communities have the power to shape the future of education and are only growing as the world looks to remote work and more sustainable ways to gather.
That’s why we’ve committed our life’s work to offering learning pioneers the tools and support to build and grow global learning communities.
Meet the Founders
Co-founders Candice Faktor and Chris Sukornyk are long-time friends and serial entrepreneurs passionate about community, learning, and building world-class platforms.
Before co-founding Disco, Candice scaled Wattpad to 80 MM users, making it the world’s largest platform for creators to share their stories (sold in January 2021, for US $660MM). And Chris founded six other venture-backed startups, most recently Chango (acquired in 2015).
"Learning + Community have the power to create the most change in the world. That's why I am so passionate about enabling learning communities to thrive."
"Learning comes in many shapes and sizes. Disco's mission is to power thousands of learning communities, each unique and purpose built for their learners."
Leading the Remote-First Work Revolution
At Disco, we’re creating a remote first culture that gives our team the maximum amount of freedom and flexibility to do exceptional work. With a tech stack to enable the future of remote learning, we believe that remote work and learning go hand-in-hand.
Our Team
It takes a village to build a world-changing platform. Our team is made up of designers, developers, learning experts, community builders, and business leaders across North America.
Together, we can make learning more accessible, engaging, and sustainable.
Our Values
We want our impact to be net positive in the world. We are intentional with how our platform, culture, and choices impact people + planet.
A growth mindset leads to lifelong learning. Our approach is learn by doing: test, iterate, reflect, learn.
Have fun and enjoy the freedom that comes with remote work. We are creating a culture where everyone feels empowered to do their best work.
Choose the simplest path (not the easiest path). It’s better to be faster to insight than take too long to launch to get feedback.
We welcome and encourage diversity of ideas, perspectives, and lived experiences.
