We're sharing a recent announcement & update post from the community by
Mike Williams, mentioning the milestone of 900+ founders having completed Marketplace School. This was originally shared as a post in the community here.

Hey all, as a quick reminder we have Marketplace School, which is our online course for learning how to build, launch, & scale a marketplace startup.

I’m excited to share that we recently crossed a milestone and we’ve had 900+ founders go through Marketplace School, with many using it to go from an initial marketplace idea to launch. Others have also used it to make meaningful progress at the earlier stages. We’ve had lots of success stories, so we’re going to be putting together a few to help highlight founders that have gone on to raise Pre-Seed/Seed rounds and scale. If you’re completed Marketplace School and found it helpful, please let us know in the replies below.

It’s awesome to hear how helpful Marketplace School has been and we’ve also had lots of founders mention they’ve used at it at growth stages for making meaningful progress, along with teams using it for onboarding new hires. We also regularly update the curriculum, so you haven’t gone through it yet, we highly suggest doing so. It’s self-guided and breaks down every step along the way for building a successful marketplace. It’s 12 lessons and each lesson has 5-10 modules, so 100+ modules in total. We think it's the most comprehensive course for learning how to build a marketplace. It takes 1-2 hours to go through it and this is the best starting point for entering the community.

I’d also love to hear feedback after you complete Marketplace School so we can continue to improve it. We’re also wrapping up some big updates to the curriculum, so will be relaunching an updated version in the next few weeks. This will be geared more on building, launching, & scaling marketplaces in the new AI era.

Thanks to everyone that’s dedicated the time to go through it and I’m looking forward to us crossing the 1,000+ milestone soon!
