I have taken a course on Maven, paid more for one course than I have across all other online courses combined. The 2 weeks and the 2 weeks after were the hardest of the year. My cohort had 20 early stage founders, both first time and exited.
Is it expensive, yes. Is it worth it, absolutely!!
More power to you and your team @gagan_biyani
@jipy9 Ha - thanks Jipy; that's dope to hear. I'm glad you found it so valuable that you'd say that.
@gagan_biyani @jipy9 With courses as with anything in life, you get what you put into it. It sounds like you made the most of the course and got a ton out of it. Thanks for sharing your story Jipy. I'd love to hear what you think of the new courses too!
10 years and 3 big products in, it was kind of crazy for me to jump back into an early stage startup, but when I met Gagan and Wes to chat about Maven, there was no way I could resist.
There’s a massive change happening in learning. Something is emerging that makes it possible to learn cutting edge ideas from real world experts, to get into deep discussions with other passionate people, and to engage with ideas instead of just consuming them.
But for this massive change to become a reality, a lot needs to happen.
This change needs a new generation of real world doers to see the value they could bring into the world by opening up their minds and experiences to learners.
It needs a platform that encourages discussion, gives you room to think, helps you ask great questions, and gets you feedback from your classmates.
It needs a dozen tools to be integrated so subject matter experts can focus on sharing their knowledge, not on the logistics of setting up, selling, and managing a course.
And it needs a team that knows how to take a massive vision and build it with creativity and discipline, year after year, because the change we’re seeing is so big it’ll take a decade to play out.
Luckily Maven has all that. We’ve taught some incredible courses, we’ve built some of the biggest apps, and we’ve loved building the Maven platform with each other and alongside the insanely talented instructors and students that use it.
It’s great being at the beginning of this journey, we’re excited to share Maven with you, and I can’t wait to see what you teach and learn on it.
@shreyans___ I love how you constantly challenge ideas folks take for granted and ask the big questions. We need this type of thinking as we try to shift how education exists in the world and I'm proud to call you my cofounder on this journey.
@shreyans___ @weskao @gagan_biyani - kudos on your team and on crushing it - with Maven and. Now with PH.
It will be interesting to follow the journey of this product. Congrats on the launch team, good luck!🚀🍀
I've been following the Maven story for years now and this is huge. Love to see it. Online education has been a hobbled dumpsterfire formost of it's history. That's changing. And Maven part of the reason it's changing.
This is the future of learning together at the nexus of live class tech, decentralization of learning, and community. Amazing work, I’m excited for what’s to come. Congrats on the official PH launch!!
@anapischl totally agree. traditional education is being unbundled, and replaced with community supported learning across a broader range of topics, from a broader range of instructors, happening online, and at any age, and on your terms. It's a great thing.
@yuanwang1 Maven instructor and designer extraordinaire. So pumped to work with you Yuan!
@yuanwang1 I still remember how you took our written Maven values and, in a few hours on a whim, whipped up jaw-dropping digital posters of each one. You know my favorite Picasso quote: “There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who transform a yellow spot into the sun." You transform yellow spots in to the sun, Yuan.
So proud of this launch! Online learning can be so much better, and it's been a blast to work with such talented teammates and instructors to bring this massive improvement to life. Excited for the next chapter!
Looks awesome!!! What is the typical time commitment and what are the best courses for founders?
@sydney_liu_sl Most courses are built for founders schedules so 2-3 sessions per week for 1-2 weeks. They are action-packed and taught by founders and executives. Here's a great list of courses curated just for founders and leaders: https://maven.com/collections/fo...
@johnny_chen3 woohoo!!! you know something is about to grow like crazy when Johnny has his hands in growth 😃
Boom! Congrats, guys, stoked!
Planning on taking the 20hr CEO soon.
Excited about the launch.
Thrilled to be building this platform to enable such a meaningful change in education with such amazing teammates!
Proud of the impact we've already had and so excited to unlock even more teaching and learning potential. Can't wait to see you on Maven!
Had the privilege to be involved with Maven and their instructors behind the scenes for a few months. It's an amazing community that'll bring the most out of you.
Congrats to everyone involved!! Being at Khan Academy has given me so much more respect and passion and drive to provide high-quality education to anyone, anywhere. It's been a pleasure getting to know @ridderingand and knowing that he's been a big part of this, gives me even more hope for the future of our education system.
