From a tight crew to the whole world.
Each phase has to earn the next one with proof: active members, finished projects and teachers earning money.
Four phases
Seed: A platform that feels alive on day one
Founding teachers with a Founding Teacher badge and a better split, starter Skill Paths, and a waitlist where inviting friends moves you up and earns founding merch.
Launch cities: Density beats thin coverage
Costa Rica, Sicily and New York City. First retreats and live apprenticeships, and the first viral cleanup Missions, filmed and shared.
Grow the bridge: Trust through families and schools
The parents' Skills, not screens one-pager through schools and libraries, 1–3 pilot schools as Host Spaces, weekly global challenges with city boards, first maker collabs.
Worldwide: The default place to learn a real skill
New cities chosen by waitlist demand, the Global Partners sponsor program, the open maker marketplace, the Skill Guide in many languages, and Skill Or Be Killed inside AI assistants.
Ahead of AI
The human answer to AI
AI can explain a skill. It can't put it in your hands, check your proof or stand next to you at the forge.
Inside the assistants
As people ask AI what to learn, our catalog, teachers and Workshops show up there, bookable.
Real proof
Photos, video and teacher critique of real work: the kind of trust AI can't fake.
Saving the last masters
The Rare & Endangered Skills program films the last thatchers, falconers, coopers and clog makers so their skills live on, and opens the door to heritage grants.
