Company mission
Teachable is on a mission to enable the transformative power of knowledge in our world.
Our take
Teachable is an edtech platform helping users set up and manage their own video-content businesses. Running on a SaaS subscription model, Teachable gives teachers the tools to fully design, deliver, and market their own courses.
Teachable's main competitors are e-learning giants Udemy, Coursera, and Pluralsight. Whilst these companies are well-established and heavily financed, Teachable’s argument is that their comparatively restrictive course development tools make the site a bad option for teachers looking to run a business.
Teachable was acquired by Brazilian edtech platform Hotmart who were looking for a leg up in the North American market. With Teachable's sights also set on global expansion, this new access to the Latin-American market may prove a savvy decision for both companies. The company launched several new features in 2023 which is set to further propel Teachable forward.

Leadership recognizes that many of the employees are balancing a family and work life. There are opportunities to work remotely and channels dedicated to parenting where we can share and learn from each other.

We have regular All Hands meetings where leadership clearly communicates where we are and where we are going. Slack channels keep us consistently updated with changes or challenges.

I'm passionate about learning and sharing information. I love that I contribute to creators who are equally passionate about sharing information and their talents with students.

I have expressed to my manager that I wanted to explore other projects outside of my job description. I got to shadow one of our team members and helped with various projects that sparked my interests.

From day one, my manager and our team's department head keep me motivated and provide me all the support that I need. I feel seen and appreciated every step of the way. Our team is optimistic which ultimately comes down from our amazing leaders.

Teachable has adapted the hybrid working model due to COVID 19. I go in the office once in a while but working from home really provides the work-life balance that I need. Also, having flexible PTO really helps when I need to take some time off and our team is so supportive of one another.

No matter what "level" someone is at they're always very accessible and approachable. These people also recognize when to have fun too! People genuinely care about you (even outside of your work life) and take care that you have a work-life balance and feel at ease at work.

At Teachable, even when I think I'm "just doing my job" there's lots of support and encouragement no matter how small or big the task is.

Great work is recognised

Empowering people to "share what they know" drives me everyday. Creators (entrepreneurs, small business owners) utilize their platform to make their online business of online courses, coaching, and 1:1s work in ways that weren't available before. Seeing our Creators grow, flourish and dare I say leave "legacies" for their family is something I cherish the most.
