Our take

The Shift Network is a platform for specialty courses and events, such as yoga, spiritualism and holistic healing.

Founded in 2010, The Shift Network has been well placed to make the most of the online learning boom. They have provided courses and events for an impressive 3.5 million people worldwide. Recently they have begun to hold an annual film festival, which has helped to raise their profile and attract more new users.

The Shift Network has been able to compete effectively within the growing online learning and events market due to its laser-sharp focus on specialist subjects. They will need to further expand their operations team in order to maintain this range, and retain their customer base.

  • The Shift Network is a transformational educational company committed to creating a better world, one in which racism, injustice, and prejudice have no place
  • We stand unequivocally with those who have been oppressed, particularly those of Black and African descent who have long faced unequal treatment, police brutality, and systemic injustice
  • We recognize the necessity of transforming not just our consciousness, but the societal, institutional, and cultural conditions that have actively created unjust systems — and we commit ourselves to working as an organization to raise awareness, change laws, and shift beliefs, behaviors, and patterns of culture that contribute to oppression.
  • We don’t pretend to be experts, but are committed to the journey and to working alongside the millions of allies who refuse to be silent or complicit in any way. We acknowledge the deep suffering behind the current wave of protests, and will do our part to bridge divides, create opportunities, call out abuse, and end oppression in all its forms
  • We commit to being a company that embraces diversity, inclusion, and equity
