We're on a mission to make learning more accessible

At CourseStorm, we believe that education is the path to personal growth. But many people face obstacles when trying to access the education they need and want. These obstacles create frustration, block access, and limit personal and professional growth. We're committed to changing that and to making education more accessible for everyone through better technology.

Our goal: Connect as many people as possible with education

At CourseStorm, our North Star is "number of connections to education". It's how we set targets as an organization and it's what keeps our team motivated.

Why connections to education?

Every time we help someone register for a class they need, we are forging a valuable connection to education. We understand that this connection represents a single step on their educational journey, and we take pride in being a part of that journey. We have facilitated more than 1.5 million connections to education and are committed to crossing 2 million in 2025.

We're here to help folks grow

Our goal is to make education more accessible for everyone, so they can achieve their goals and unlock their full potential. We are passionate about helping individuals, communities, and organizations grow and thrive, and we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality educational opportunities. With CourseStorm, we are working tirelessly to make this a reality, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact we can make together.

Our values guide every decision we make

At CourseStorm, our unique values of Simplicity, Helpfulness, and Growth guide every action we take, from hiring to product development.

simplicity

We seek clarity not complication. We are open, honest, direct, and transparent. We think deeply and rigorously to understand the core. We develop elegant solutions to complicated problems. We focus to maximize our impact.

Helpfulness

We are problem solvers. We are empathetic. We listen deeply to understand and then to assist. We seek the best solutions for our customers. We are clear about when and how we can help.

growth

We nurture growth in ourselves, our team, our customers, and their students. We have a growth mindset. We try new things, rise to challenges, and view failure as learning. We grow our company to increase our positive impact. We hire for values, potential, and passion first, then skills, and experience.

Meet our leadership team

We're a group of lifelong learners. Many of us have had past careers as musicians, actors, teachers, scientists and more—but each of us is at CourseStorm for a reason, united by our mission to connect more folks to learning opportunities.
