About The Commons

The Commons is a learning community for ambitious professionals focused on Strategic Business Roles in Tech. We accelerate careers by combining upskilling + community + mentorship. What's different about The Commons is our emphasis on community & mentorship. The community is there beyond the specific Sprint (program) a member takes, and is highly engaged - active discussions, a ton of events, and private job opportunities. The Sprints are structured to simulate on-the-job training - members work directly with a mentor from a top tech company, so they can build tangible learnings and impactful relationships.

What we believe:

Careers are no longer static ladders to climb. They’re dynamic, non-linear and, in our humble opinion, 100x more exciting. Yet today’s education institutions are built for yesterday’s careers. What people need to learn and the way people want to learn, for successful careers in tech, is changing. Our model - combining project-based, mentor-led, community-driven learning - is leading this new wave in career-based education.

Where we’re at:

We’ve built a 1,000+ person global learning community of ambitious professionals in Tech, who learn & build connections through interactive learning experiences. We raised a pre-seed round from awesome investors including Turner Novak, Panache Ventures and Eric Ries. We’ve reached product-market fit and we’re entering an exciting growth phase (see below for what lies ahead).

Where we’re going in 2023:

• Scaling a highly engagement community: Last year, we doubled down on community experience and have built a first-of-its-kind community points system and leaderboard. 2023 will be all about supercharging engagement through continuously adding value for our members (see below).
• Expanding our learning experiences: Our goal is to build & launch 2-3 new learning experiences every quarter so we can continue to be part of our member’s professional development plans, and become the place for business generalists to upskill and network in their early-mid careers.
• Company partnerships: We’re in the process of building custom learning experiences for companies, essentially becoming their external L&D department.
• Sustainable growth: We’re a VC-backed company with a bootstrapped mentality. We will grow in a sustainable and profitable way in 2023 and beyond.
