Skillshare online learning platform

Skillshare is a prominent online learning community headquartered in the United States, focused on creative education. Founded in 2010 by Michael Karnjanaprakorn and Malcolm Ong, the platform operates on a subscription model, offering thousands of classes in categories such as design, photography, video, and freelancing.

As a digital platform, Skillshare does not have a traditional manufacturing country; however, its primary operations, software development, and corporate management are based in New York City. The platform relies on a distributed network of independent educators and professional creators from around the world who contribute content to the library.

Since its inception, Skillshare has undergone several rounds of venture capital funding. While it remains a private company, it is backed by major investment firms like OMERS Growth Equity and Union Square Ventures. The brand is globally recognized as a leader in the 'edtech' sector, serving millions of students and creators across nearly every continent.
