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 which 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 and brand partnerships in 2024 which is set to further propel Teachable forward.
