‍Impact at a Glance

The Challenge

Scaling a premium learning experience—while stuck in development bottlenecks

Adventures in CRE (A.CRE) is the leading provider of commercial real estate (CRE) financial modeling education—trusted by thousands of real estate professionals. Their lean team delivers high-impact training and certification programs for learners seeking practical, career-advancing skills.

As A.CRE’s flagship training program gained traction, their sophisticated, custom-built LMS started to strain under the demands of scale. Every new feature required careful planning and custom dev cycles. Bug fixes added to an already busy ops load, and their team found itself spending more time managing infrastructure than enhancing the learner experience. Without built-in social tools, engagement was harder to scale, and a growing tool stack made operations increasingly complex for the lean team.

“Previously, developing a new feature took a lot of back-and-forth with a developer. It was a slow process, and we spent a lot of time figuring out what we wanted versus what was actually possible.” — Kyle Holmberg, COO, A.CRE

The Disco Solution

From managing tech to scaling learning—with AI, automation, and community built in

Disco became A.CRE’s all-in-one operating system for learning and community – replacing four separate platforms—LMS, event tools, discussion forums, and email—with one unified, AI-powered operating system for learning and community.

Their team was able to shed technical complexity and unlock a new level of velocity—without increasing headcount. 

Disco’s AI-first platform gave A.CRE the modern learning experience they needed to evolve their brand and deepen learner engagement.

Key outcomes:

• No dev required – all features managed by the Disco team
• Community unlocked – profiles, events, subgroups, and chat
• Operational efficiencies – automated workflows and deep learner insights  
• Unified UX – everything in one branded, learner-friendly hub

“The platform just keeps improving. It feels like every time we open it, there's a new feature that helps us manage the membership more effectively.” — Alex, Operations Lead, A.CRE

The Strategic Shift

A future-proof platform—and a partner in growth

A.CRE’s programs have always delivered premium content. But the shift to Disco gave them infrastructure that matched their ambition: clean, scalable, and modern—with none of the engineering overhead.

“We used to lose hours explaining features to a dev and hoping it came out right. Now, we share a goal—and Disco’s already building it.” — Alex, Operations Lead, A.CRE

By eliminating engineering dependencies, A.CRE unlocked speed, scale, and savings. With over 8,000 learners supported, and zero developers on staff, Disco became the strategic lever for high-impact growth.

For learning businesses choosing between custom vs. platform

Scaling a modern learning business isn’t just about content—it’s about creating leverage. With Disco, A.CRE consolidated tools, cut cost, and simplified operations—without adding headcount.
