Edtech platforms — courses, cohorts, progress, payments
Learning products need progress truth, cohort ops, and payments that don’t fight the pedagogy. We build those guts — not just a pretty player skin.
Who it’s for: For course creators and learning companies graduating off cobbled tools (Teachable + Sheets + Discord).
We won’t take this if: you only need a Teachable theme tweak — we’ll say so.
Course player, cohort admin, progress, checkout
What changes when this lands
Progress students trust
Completions, gates, certificates with clear rules.
Cohort operations
Seats, dates, facilitators — without heroics.
Payments & access
One-time, subscription, scholarships — entitlement engine.
Instructor tools
Content updates without engineering every module.
Roles named. Steps clear.
Learning model
Self-paced vs cohort vs hybrid.
Content model
Modules, assets, drip rules.
Player + admin
Watch, note, complete.
Payments
Entitlements after charge.
Community hooks
Chat/Discord/email as needed.
Pilot cohort
Instrument drop-off.
One constrained engagement
Cohort program platform (NDA)
Ops lived in Notion + Stripe links + Zoom.
Next cohort date immovable.
Admin-first: seats and content freeze, then learner polish.
- Ops ran cohort without daily founder babysitting
- Fewer access support DMs
What you actually get

Objection killers
SCORM / xAPI?
When enterprise buyers require it — scoped explicitly.
Live video?
Zoom/LiveKit integrations rather than building a Zoom clone.
Marketplace of instructors?
Possible; marketplace dynamics are a different product class — expect phase two.
Ready to talk scope?
Bring constraints. We’ll bring a timeline and a cut list. Free discovery call — response within 24 hours.
