Our Mission

We believe that everyone has something they want to learn and something they can teach to others. This means our communities are really the greatest universities. Our platform helps make the exchange of knowledge easy, enriching, and fun.

We’re world builders. Skillshare is for the doers, not the academics or theorists. We empower people to do or become anything they desire. We deliver passion through our work, employees, and community. In other words, we’re here to increase the global passionate index.

Our Culture

Our culture is one of the most important things to us. We take it very seriously. Our DNA consists of a lean product culture and innovative entrepreneurial culture. Everyone on our team is a creative problem solver. We work together to creatively brainstorm new ideas, implement them, and improve them as fast as possible. We’re obsessed with making the world a better place.

  • Over-communicate to foster transparency and trust.
  • Problem solve in unconventional ways.
  • Humbleness leads to collaboration.
  • Ship it. Done is better than perfect.
  • Be Curious. Stay passionate.
  • Leapfrog the status quo.
  • Make your mama proud.
  • Simplify. Less is more.
  • Do something about it.
  • We is greater than I.
