The Problem

Learning is critical to entrepreneurs, yet when they go to learn online, the learning journey is demotivating, fragmented and lengthy.

The Solution

MinuteSkill combines the experience of social media with the reliability & structure of traditional e-learning to deliver an immersive & engaging, yet distraction-free, experience for our learners. We focus on matching entrepreneurs with bite-sized action-based content at the point-of-need so they can build their businesses with speed & confidence.

MinuteSkill is TikTok for continuous, structured learning for entrepreneurs.

What’s Next for MinuteSkill?

We’re currently working towards Antler’s Demo Day and raising our next round of financing. We are currently partnering with high quality entrepreneurial creators/speakers to provide accessible & bite-sized learning for entrepreneurs.

Where can people see or find you?

We will be attending Collision (June 20-23, 2022) as an ALPHA Startup with a booth one of the 3 days. You can also download MinuteSkill on the App Store or Google Play store by searching “MinuteSkill”.
