June Product Update: Creator Incubator & Communities

It’s tough to work long hours during the hot and humid summer days, so we hope you have the time to take the upcoming long weekend off and relax. Let us continue to support your online course so you can continue to earn money, even while you’re lounging by the pool. With that, review our June 2019 product update below to learn more about our NYC-based Creator Incubator and Teachable communities.

NYC Creator Incubator

We’re excited to share that we kicked off our first NYC-based Creator Incubator at Teachable this month. We chose 22 participants from a competitive pool of applicants to be in our inaugural class. This program will take these participants, who are all starting at slightly different stages, through workshops, weekly discussions, and monthly in-person check-ins.

The goal is to take our participants from idea to launch in 15 weeks. We’re excited to share the wins and challenges from our amazing cohort after the program closes.

Teachable communities

In the last two months, we’ve launched two additional in-person communities in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. to bring more of our Teachable creators together.

For about a year and a half, we’ve hosted workshops and meetups at Teachable HQ here in New York. We’ve seen Teachable creators drive in from upstate New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, and heard from some that our events were “worth the two hour drive.”

To help our users who can’t make it to NYC connect with one another and learn more about Teachable, we’ve started launching the pilot chapters of our Creator Community in a few other cities. Our first chapters are located in Philadelphia and Washington, DC. To help grow this program as far and wide as we can, we’ve decided to partner with local creators to help lead each chapter.

If you’re interested in starting a Teachable chapter in your city, please let us know. If we think it’s a good fit, we’ll reach out. We’ll work closely with you to plan your first event, and then provide ongoing support (think: content, logistical support, and goodies) to help your group flourish.

Interested in joining us at one of our future community events, or hearing when we launch a group in your city? Join our weekly newsletter for updates.
