It's the only way we go from not knowing to knowing. From status quo to growth and change. From a system and a world we have been dealt to a future we create for ourselves, for our society, and for our planet.

Community is a massive accelerant for learning. Alongside learning, there is no greater agent of change than a community caring deeply about the very thing they want to see in the world. Community gives learners a deep sense of belonging, accountability, support, and a chance to learn, not from a sage on a stage, but from each other.

This is what led us here. It’s why we believe so strongly in learning communities as a force for good to change the world.

Marketplace platforms wielding too much power over operators have enabled the transition to niche communities.

The consequence of this is not insignificant and has resulted in a major shift in culture. In the new world, learning community operators want tools to own their destinies.

This is what led us here. It’s why we believe so strongly in learning communities as a force for good to change the world.

In a world that is very uncertain, ever-evolving, and less linear by the day, learning should not be a luxury afforded to a privileged few, but rather a necessity for the majority. Because lifelong learning is a human right.

The idea that you only go to school and are done learning by the age of 21 and you never need to go back to school—or have to break the bank to continue learning—is an outdated system.

The number of times we change jobs, the speed at which the world is progressing, and the amount of change that will be witnessed in our lifetime require decentralization and accessible education made possible by niche learning communities. Large, colonial Institutions can’t and won’t keep up with the new modern school movement.

Every day, across the world, we are witnessing more niche learning communities come to life—climate schools, no-code bootcamps, women-founder accelerators, skill-based bootcamps, passion-led learning communities, and so much more.

As we know, work and learning happen best through experiences with other people, not just content. Live video has enabled a new level of gathering, being together, and experiencing things together.

Remote work is here to stay, it didn’t disappear with the end of the pandemic.

We are now reckoning with what this means for our lives. The great resignation, the resistance to going back to the office—the need for efficiency and less disruption to our lives means gathering doesn't need to always be in person.

In fact, it is better for many if it isn't.

Learning is possibly one of the most important aspects of our work and relying solely on in person gatherings is costly, inefficient and not accessible enough for the learning required to thrive.

As fellow entrepreneurs, we believe wholeheartedly in agency and the power of entrepreneurship to change the world. We get excited about more people recognizing and valuing their agency in the world to create the future we want.

We also believe that purpose and profit go hand in hand.
