Our take
Reforge is a membership-based growth platform for professionals working at the most innovative companies in tech. They offer growth-focused courses for individuals in product, marketing, and engineering who are looking to drive more impact in their career.
Passionate that the best way to learn is to hear from those who have actually done the work, they help members unlock new ways of approaching today’s toughest business challenges. In addition to gaining access to an unprecedented catalog of content, they can take part in cohorts led by industry leaders from renowned startups like Uber, Slack, Tinder, and Eventbrite.
Reforge has also invested heavily in building a powerful community of experts. Members come from product-focused backgrounds at post-product/market fit companies. The impressive membership it's assembled includes executive level staff from a who’s who of the tech world – Google, Reddit, Airbnb, HubSpot, Netflix, Spotify and plenty more.
With strong funding at its back, Reforge is setting out to facilitate easier consulting and advising for members and experts - both of which are things it has already seen growing organically within its community. By expanding the knowledge and networking opportunities available on the platform, the company should be able to capitalise on the trend towards more people changing jobs in the wake of the "Great Resignation".
