The latest from Teachable, straight from the source

Product launches, platform announcements, and events from the team building Teachable.

Meet the new Teachable Payments

Checkout is where a sale is won or lost. For anyone selling courses, coaching, or memberships, the moment between wanting a product and paying for it decides how much you keep, how much of your week goes to admin, and how many students around the world can buy from you at all.

Most creators end up assembling that moment themselves. One tool runs the checkout page, another handles taxes, a spreadsheet reconciles the numbers, and a separate processor covers anyone paying from abroad. Every extra piece adds a fee, a login, and one more thing to fix late at night.

Teachable rebuilt its checkout on Stripe so you start with all of that handled. You keep more of every sale, you spend less time on payments and taxes, and you can sell to students across most of the world from your first launch. Your students see a clean, familiar checkout. Underneath, it runs on the same Stripe technology behind a large share of online commerce, and it does the operational work for you.

The timing works in your favor. Goldman Sachs Research projects that the creator economy could roughly double to $480 billion by 2027, up from $250 billion. More of that money will move across borders, on phones, and in local currencies. Teachable Payments was built for that.

Your checkout should earn you more, hand back your weekends, and let you sell anywhere. That is Teachable Payments.

Your checkout should make you more money, give you your weekends back, and let you sell anywhere in the world. That is the new Teachable Payments.

What you get with Teachable Payments

Here is what comes built in from your first sale, next to what selling with a separate payment tool usually looks like.

Feature	Teachable	Other payment gateways
Processing rate	Up to 2.9%	Up to 8%, plus hidden or subscription fees
Learning experience and checkout	Included in one platform	Usually two separate tools
Tax handling (calculation, collection, and remittance)	Included automatically for 45+ countries	Limited or manual
Local currency display and checkout translation	Included automatically	Not included
Instant payouts	Included	Standard payout timing, or an add-on required
Buy now, pay later	Included	Separate paid add-on
Dedicated support	Named Customer Success Consultant	Self-serve ticket queue

More money in your pocket

The first thing you feel is how much you keep. Your rates start below standard processing, and creators selling internationally see the biggest reduction. Talk with our team to see your exact rate, then read the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Selling more from the same traffic matters just as much as the rate. Built-in order bumps add around 20% in revenue on the transactions that use them, Buy Now, Pay Later lifts sales by about 25%, and tax-inclusive pricing can raise checkout conversion by up to 22%. These tools come with your checkout, with nothing extra to install.

“When you are just starting, giving up a small percentage may not seem significant. But as your business grows, every percentage point starts to matter.” — Stefan Kunz, founder of Stefan Kunz Studio

Rates start as low as 2.5% + $0.30 based on where you are and how much you process. Talk with our team to see your exact number, then read the details in our Teachable Payments help guide.

Hours of your life back

Next, you stop being your own accountant. On every sale, sales tax, VAT, and GST are calculated, collected, and remitted for you across 45+ countries.

There are no forms to chase, no spreadsheets to reconcile, and no separate tax app to connect. Tax handling runs on Stripe Tax, so it keeps getting stronger over time.

Sell to anyone, anywhere

Online checkout showing course 'From Bonjour to Belonging' costing $1,550 plus $248 tax, total $1,798.

Your students should pay the way they already do. Teachable Payments gives them more than 35 ways to check out. On a phone, that means one tap with Apple Pay or Google Pay and no card entry. With local currency display, buyers see prices in their own currency automatically, so a student in Sao Paulo or Warsaw feels at home at checkout.

Where your students are	What they can pay with
Cards and wallets (global)	Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay
Europe	SEPA, iDEAL, Bancontact, Przelewy24, BLIK, Multibanco, TWINT, MobilePay
Latin America	Pix and more local methods
Asia	Alipay, WeChat Pay, GrabPay
Buy now, pay later	Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay

When a buyer sees their own currency and their usual payment method, more of them finish the sale.

Cash Flow Workshop priced $297 with payment options Klarna and Affirm, and Cash Flow Tracker add-on $49.

Subscriptions that keep paying you

Recurring revenue runs on Stripe Billing. Failed payments get retried automatically, and many are recovered before you would notice. You get smart dunning, proration, and tax-aware invoicing from day one. For anyone selling memberships, coaching, payment plans, or drip courses, recurring payments can raise lifetime student value by around 43%.

Faster payouts, with fraud protection built in

Your money should reach you quickly. Eligible creators get instant payouts, with funds arriving in minutes through eligible debit cards or bank rails. Every transaction runs through Stripe fraud protection, so risky charges get caught early, before they turn into a costly chargeback.

Getting set up is simple

There is no migration and no separate processor to connect. Teachable Payments is part of the platform, so it is on from your first product, and setup takes minutes. It is powered by Stripe for reliability and security.

You also get a named Customer Success Consultant who knows your setup and answers you directly, plus warm intros to other creators and invitations to Teachable events around the world.

Educators are already selling worldwide with Teachable

Creators are already growing across borders on Teachable, and these payment features fit exactly how they sell. For Stefan Kunz, having payments built into the platform mattered from day one. He could open enrollment without wiring up a separate processor, which kept his attention on his students.

“It felt like a platform that would let me focus on creating and teaching rather than managing technology.” — Stefan Kunz, founder of Stefan Kunz Studio

Stefan has taught more than 8,000 students across 25-plus launches, reaching learners on nearly every continent, with Teachable handling tax and local payment methods for him.

With students from 188 countries, tax compliance could have been a nightmare. Teachable handles it all, so we can focus on helping our members build their data skills. — Leila Gharani, XelPlus Academy

Youness School has supported more than 2,000 engineering-prep students across Morocco and France, plus another 20,000 reached through free lessons, on a platform that travels with the student wherever the signal goes. For more stories like theirs, browse our creator success stories.

Revenue on repeat

🤝Memberships

With memberships, creators can now build a recurring revenue model that centers around gating product access by tiers. Creators can customize the student experience of each tier, and students can upgrade and downgrade between tiers all from their own accounts.

Flexibility matters. And that’s why we’re putting control back in your hands, and giving your students the same power too.

Why memberships? Hint: it’s like putting revenue on repeat

Generate a 43% higher lifetime value (LTV) of your students and customers
Develop a predictable, profitable revenue stream
Build student engagement directly into your business model

If you’re on a paid plan at Teachable, you can take advantage of the membership product immediately in just a few steps.

To create a membership tier:

Click the Memberships tab on the left admin panel of your school. Click Create a Membership Tier.
In the Name field, enter in the name of the tier and then click Next.
Use the Sections to add and organize published products to your tiered membership. Once products have been added, click Next.
Set the price for your tier by using the drop down menu to select the currency. Additionally, you can set both a monthly and/or yearly membership price for your tier. (If you would like to offer the membership for free, click the Offer for free option). Click Next.
Once your tier has been created, you can continue to work on and publish your tier or return to the Membership page.

Thrive 2025 Recap: Where students thrive, your business grows

0 min

November 6, 2025

On November 5, 2025, we hosted the first-ever Thrive 2025, virtual event with live Q&A for creators shaping the future of online education.

Thousands of entrepreneurs and educators registered to hear from our leadership team and fellow creators about what’s next for learning, business growth, and technology on our platform.

During Thrive, we covered:

How we’re helping creators scale impact while keeping education human
The latest Teachable updates designed around the way students learn today
How we’re making it easier to reach learners globally
AI experiments we’re working on to help you save time and scale smarter
What’s next as we head to 2026 and beyond

We also announced a brand new 2025 Black Friday sales challenge starting right now — for both new and existing Teachable creators — that could mean earning up to $1,200 in Teachable credit or even an all-expenses-paid trip to Brazil.

Plus, our best Buy One Get One Offer of the year.

Let’s recap the biggest announcements, ideas, and product updates from Thrive 2025.

Preparing for the future of learning

Our Managing Director, Giovana Carvalho, opened the session with a message that set the tone for the day: we’re not just changing how we look — we’re changing how we build for the future.

Over the past decade, we’ve helped more than 150,000 creators reach 96 million learners across the world.

Now, we’re entering a new chapter focused on two goals that move in sync: helping creators scale their businesses and helping students succeed through more connected, flexible, and human learning experiences.

From redesigned learner journeys and mobile-first education to AI-powered tools and global commerce updates, Thrive 2025 unveiled how we’re preparing creators for what’s next — and how we’re evolving to meet the changing landscape of online learning.

Many creators began with a small audience, community, or coaching business. What they needed was a place to grow from there — to build something lasting, scalable, and rooted in impact. Thrive 2025 was designed to show what that next step looks like.

"Our goal has always been to make it possible for experts to package up what they know and deliver it at scale… Now, we’re expanding that vision to help every creator build a space where students can truly thrive — and where your business can, too." –Giovana Carvalho, Managing Director, Teachable

Giovana emphasized that our future centers on connection — pairing business growth with student success. Teachable is now built to scale without losing what makes education meaningful: the people behind it.

"Knowledge from those who’ve lived it — that’s what we believe in." –Giovana Carvalho, Managing Director, Teachable

She reminded creators that while technology evolves, it’s still their lived expertise — not automation — that drives transformation.

That belief sets the stage for what’s next: updates that make learning more connected, mobile, and adaptive for every student.

Redefining what It feels like to learn

Our Head of Product Experience, Victoria Siemer, took the stage to show what connection looks like in practice. Her team’s goal: make learning not only more effective but more natural — something that fits into how people actually live and learn today.

"When we talk about redefining what it feels like to learn, we’re talking about creating experiences that aren’t just informative — they’re transformative." –Victoria, Head of Product Experience, Teachable

Over half of students on Teachable already learn this way, and our latest updates were built for that reality.

Mobile-first learning: The Teachable mobile app now provides a first-class experience on both iOS and Android. Courses adapt automatically to smaller screens, progress syncs seamlessly between devices, and lessons can be downloaded for offline study.
Learning that moves with you: For students, learning doesn’t stop when the laptop closes. Background playback lets them listen to lessons like podcasts, and reminders help them stay consistent.
Personal dashboards and navigation: Our redesigned student dashboard gives learners a single home for all their courses, communities, and downloads. Progress is clear. Next steps are obvious. And discovery happens naturally through personalized course suggestions.
A smoother, more connected experience: These improvements have already led to measurable gains. Students are reaching lessons six times faster than before, and logged-in learners are three times more likely to complete checkout.

"A smoother experience keeps learners engaged longer, and that means better outcomes for them — and stronger results for creators like you." –Victoria Siemer, Head of Product Experience, Teachable

Scaling education for a global audience

Our Head of Product, Aaron Roy, followed with a closer look at what powers creator growth behind the scenes. His team’s mission is to make scaling simple — giving creators the foundation to reach anyone, anywhere, without adding complexity.

"Every thriving business has something powerful behind it — systems that scale quietly, keep things running smoothly, and make growth sustainable." –Aaron Roy, Head of Product, Teachable

Selling globally is no longer a challenge reserved for large organizations. Today, creators can reach students in more than 200 countries and territories, supported by automatic translations, local currencies, and tax handling built directly into our platform.

"We have learners in over 100 countries, and managing international payments could have been a nightmare. But Teachable takes care of it all, so we can focus on what we do best — inspiring language learners around the world, one coffee break at a time." –Mark Pentleton, Coffee Break Languages

"We offer subtitles in seven different languages, and that feature has actually become one of our selling points. We have students from every corner of the world — and now, they can learn in the language they’re most comfortable with." –Speak Norsk Team

Built-in translations and subtitles: You can now translate your entire course experience into 13 languages with a single click. This makes learning more inclusive and lets creators expand to new markets without the need for external tools or costly localization.
Simplified payments and taxes: Teachable Pay continues to handle the complex parts of global selling — VAT, sales tax, and secure payments — all automatically.
Buy Now, Pay Later options: For creators selling higher-ticket programs, this feature has boosted sales by as much as 30%, allowing students to learn now and pay over time.
Affiliate tools that drive growth: Our built-in affiliate system helps creators reach new audiences while automating the hardest parts of referral management.

"Teachable offers one of the best affiliate systems we’ve seen. It handles payouts, tax forms, and reporting automatically — all we have to do is find partners who love our courses." –Brian Kouhi, TOAnimate

We also introduced a new way for creators to serve entire teams and organizations — a major step in expanding from individual course hosting to enterprise-ready education.

Bulk Distribution allows creators to issue and manage dozens or even thousands of course licenses from a single dashboard. Schools, businesses, and universities can now train at scale while creators maintain full control of their content.

Apply for the Bulk Distribution beta waitlist

"To work with universities and companies while maintaining control of my content is huge. Teachable makes it seamless to turn on hundreds of users at once and manage everything from one place." –Laura St. John, Creator on Teachable

For creators everywhere, these updates mean one thing: growth without limits. Whether selling to one student or one thousand, our platform now provides the infrastructure to handle scale, compliance, and connection — all in one home for your business.

Building with AI and automation

As education evolves, so does the way creators build, personalize, and share knowledge. We’re investing deeply in tools that help creators work smarter — not harder — through automation and AI.

"AI will continue to play a powerful role in education, and we’re building toward an AI-first future — one that helps you create, scale, and teach faster than ever." –Aaron Roy, Head of Product, Teachable

At Thrive 2025, we introduced the Teachable MCP Server, a new experimental tool that connects large language models like Claude or ChatGPT directly to your school data. With it, you can analyze performance, generate reports, and visualize trends — all through natural language prompts.

Request MCP Beta Access and see how-to videos for MCP and Claude Skills.

We also announced Claude Skills, purpose-built instructions that automate course-building tasks such as writing quizzes, creating flashcards, and repurposing lessons into other formats.

"Imagine uploading a course and instantly generating an ebook or a study guide. You’ve already done the hard work of building knowledge — AI helps you share it further and faster." –Aaron Roy, Head of Product, Teachable

Our roadmap for 2026 goes even further:

Adaptive assessments: AI-guided quizzes that respond to a student’s progress, offering targeted lessons based on their results.
Personalized pathways: Students will move through content at their own pace, seeing new modules or recommendations based on completion.
Redesigned certificates: More customizable and shareable, giving students recognition that reflects real achievement.
Improved accessibility: We’re working toward WCAG Level A compliance by the end of 2026, ensuring every student can learn effectively.

These updates continue the same throughline introduced at Thrive — combining the human connection of teaching with the efficiency of modern technology.

Looking ahead

Thrive 2025 marked more than a product showcase — it was our vision for where education is headed.

The message was clear: when students thrive, businesses do too. We’re building the systems, tools, and experiences that make that connection possible — from AI-powered creation to global commerce and everything in between.

"The future of Teachable isn’t just about keeping up with innovation — it’s about accelerating it." –Giovana Carvalho, Managing Director, Teachable

If you missed Thrive 2025, you can rewatch the full session and explore these updates in your dashboard today. And for those ready to scale faster, our Growth plan offers even more ways to turn student success into business success.

Because when learning works better for students, every creator wins.

Teachable’s 2025 Rewind: A new era for online education

0 min

December 23, 2025

What a year. 👏🎉

In 2025, Teachable creators reached over 95 million lifetime students.

That's 95 million people who said yes to learning something new.

Your expertise reached corners of the world we never could have imagined.

To match your energy we built new features, hosted our first CONNECT conference and UK collective event, and ushered in a new era for education with Thrive 2025 and our boldest chapter yet (with a brand new look).

Quick PSA: the year isn’t officially over yet.

The 2025 Sales Challenge is still happening from now through December 31 which means every sale you make on Teachable helps you rise through the ranks and win exclusive rewards.

(Need inspiration? Check out our 30-minute guide to closing year-end sales.)

Now let's hit the ⏪ button on 2025 and take a look and how far we've come.

A better-than-ever student experience

This year, we upgraded the student experience by transforming the product catalog into a more dynamic, action-oriented student dashboard.

With improvements like faster “jump-back-in” functionality, clearer sorting, and a default view of enrolled content, students spend less time navigating and more time learning.

Plus, with hero banners and dashboard links, you have a powerful new way to promote resources, highlight time-sensitive offers, and connect your broader ecosystem (including website, community, etc.) directly within the learning experience.

See our student experience tools

Mobile apps: Optimized for learning on the go

With over 130K monthly active users, the Teachable mobile apps became a more natural part of students’ everyday learning routine this year.

We launched the Android app and introduced offline mode, giving all students the freedom to download content, learn on to go with or without Wi-Fi, and seamlessly sync progress across devices.

On both iOS and Android, updates like jump-back-in learning, progress push notifications, and improved playback make it easier for students to keep moving forward.

More wins from 2025

We shipped a number of new features designed to help you reach more students and convert more effectively.

We introduced Product Detail Pages to improve discoverability, expanded B2B capabilities for selling to teams and organizations, released one-click translations to support global audiences, and added phone number collection at checkout to support verification and downstream communication.

See the features and improvements some members of our product team are the most excited about.

Together, these updates make it easier to market and sell, without adding extra complexity.

A look back at our in-person events

In May, 159 creators packed a Brooklyn venue for CONNECT 2025, our first-ever in-person creator conference.

The energy was real. 85% of attendees said they'd come back. 95% left creatively energized. And the biggest insight? 60% said the event gave them confidence to keep going.

As one attendee put it: "I walked in without a job and starting this journey. I left feeling like I can truly do this."

We also brought creators together in London for an intimate mastermind event with our top accounts and partners.

The feedback was clear: people want more thoughtful, in-person experiences. We're listening.

Our boldest chapter yet and what it means for you

‍

In October, Teachable got a fresh identity.

We look different. We feel different. We're building for the future differently. But the core stays the same: helping experts package up their knowledge and deliver it at scale.

Our new visual identity reflects where we're headed. Education as entrepreneurship. Human-led learning in the rise of AI. A platform that grows alongside you.

As our Managing Director Giovana Carvalho put it:

"For a decade, Teachable has made it possible for experts to package up their unique knowledge and deliver it at scale. Now, we're expanding that vision to help every creator build a space where students can truly thrive."

Thrive 2025: Where students thrive, your business grows

On November 5, we hosted our first-ever Teachable Thrive virtual event.

Thousands of creators tuned in to hear what's next for Teachable.

We revealed major updates across mobile learning, AI, the student experience, and global commerce.

We introduced the Teachable MCP Server (connecting large language models directly to your school data) and Claude Skills (automating course-building tasks like writing quizzes and generating study guides).

The message was clear: when your students succeed, your business does too. We're building the systems, tools, and experiences that make that connection possible.

Creator success: Your stories, front and center

This year, we relaunched our podcast and published in-depth case studies featuring creators who've built real businesses on Teachable.

Speak Norsk hit 14,000+ students teaching Norwegian to people around the world.

Dan George grew to 10,000+ students with aviation ground school training.

Antoine van der Lee made $40K on his first Teachable course launch teaching Swift development.

Abagail Pumphrey shared her playbook for building a multi-product 7-figure online education business.

Brian Kouhi and Jenny Rushmore showed us what's possible in the animation and sewing niches.

These results are the fruit of years of building, iterating, and putting students first.

Plus, we’re upgrading our certifications and assessments and giving you more control over students’ learning paths.

0 min

December 18, 2024

Creators crushed it in 2024! 👏

This year, tens of thousands of creators shared their knowledge through digital products on Teachable, reaching nearly 12 million students from all 195 globally-recognized countries.

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the best part of Teachable… YOU!

In this blog post, we’ll break down key creator wins from 2024, favorite Teachable features, new updates, and a sneak peek at what’s coming next.

Let’s dive in…

$10 billion in global creator earnings

This year, Teachable, together with our parent company Hotmart Co, hit a jaw-dropping milestone: $10 billion in global creator earnings across Teachable and our parent company, Hotmart Co.

This is a testament to the power of creators around the world who are transforming lives through education and innovation.

How did we get here?

It’s been a journey of building tools, fostering a vibrant creator community, and continuously investing in your success. But more on that in a bit.

Top 10 Teachable creator countries

Teachable creators are making waves everywhere—from the United States to India, from Japan to Spain.

This global reach highlights the universal appeal of learning and the boundless opportunities for creators to connect with diverse audiences.

Nearly half of all creators on Teachable sold products outside their home country this year, proving that knowledge knows no borders.

From language courses in Germany to wellness programs in Australia, creators are driving cultural exchange, education, and personal growth on a global scale.

Creators hit their AI stride in 2024

If 2024 taught us one thing, it’s this: AI is changing everything.

This year, over 3.8 million pieces of AI-generated content were created using Teachable’s AI tools, including curriculum builders, quiz generators, subtitles, and even sales pages.

These AI tools elevated efficiency while enhancing creativity.

They help creators overcome the hardest parts of building a course so they can focus on crafting transformational learning experiences.

Whether you’re outlining your first course or launching your tenth, Teachable’s AI tools make it faster, easier, and more intuitive.

As AI evolves, so will our tools. We’re committed to giving you even more ways to simplify creation and scale your impact.

Bold moves from Teachable in 2024

This year, we ventured beyond the platform to celebrate creators in bold new ways:

The 9-to-5 Quitters Club: A movement for freedom and fulfillment

In 2024, we launched the 9-to-5 Quitters Club, a campaign to inspire creators to break free from the limitations of the traditional work mindset.

It’s not about quitting your job—it’s about embracing a new era of work where you define success on your terms.

Through a podcast and newsletter, we share real stories, expert tips, and practical strategies from creators who’ve done just that.

Whether you’re dreaming of building your business or looking for motivation to take the leap, the 9-to-5 Quitters Club is your roadmap to independence.

60-Day Hustle: The first-ever creator reality show

‍

We also brought creator inspiration to the big screen with 60-Day Hustle, the first-ever reality competition show for entrepreneurs.

Launched in partnership with Sonic God Studios, the show is streaming now on Amazon Prime and features 12 talented creators competing to scale their businesses in just 60 days.

This groundbreaking campaign highlights the grit, creativity, and drive of the creator economy while offering actionable insights for viewers.

The best part? It’s a celebration of the power of creators to make a lasting impact, and we’re thrilled to have been part of such an innovative project.

What’s coming from Teachable in 2025

As we wrap up 2024, we want to thank you for being the best part of Teachable.

Whether you’re launching your first course or scaling your business to new heights, we’re honored to be part of your journey.

The future is looking even brighter. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s ahead:

Teachable is hitting the road! Next year, we’ll be hosting in-person events to bring creators together to connect, learn, and grow.
We’re doubling down on making Teachable more flexible, intuitive, and powerful than ever.

And we’re just getting started.

Here’s to building a brighter, more creative future—together.

Happy New Year!

Teachable update: Stability and security for your digital products

0 min

December 6, 2024

Over the past seven years, we’ve had the privilege of helping 150,000 creators share their knowledge, connect with 47+ million students worldwide, and generate over $2.5 billion in sales.

This incredible journey has been made possible by creators, educators, and business owners like you who trust Teachable to help bring their visions to life.

As we continue to grow, we remain deeply committed to ensuring that Teachable is a strong, stable, and reliable platform for you.

Recently, we’ve taken significant steps to improve our foundation and make your experience smoother, especially during critical moments like high-traffic sales periods.

Why Teachable’s fall 2024 updates matter

We know that for many of you, Teachable has delivered a reliable experience with only the occasional bug or quirk.

However, we also hear from creators who have faced outages or performance challenges, and we take that feedback seriously.

To better understand your needs, we analyzed survey responses, direct feedback, bug reports, incident metrics, and ticket volumes.

This data has guided our efforts to strengthen the platform in ways that matter most to you.

What Teachable updated in fall 2024

Over the past few months, we’ve taken the following actions:

Platform Stability Upgrades: We’ve made behind-the-scenes updates to ensure smoother, more reliable performance.
Expanded Capacity for High-Traffic Events: Our system has been tested and optimized to handle peak periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday without a hitch.
Performance Optimizations: We’ve audited slow-performing pages and features to reduce latency and improve overall efficiency.
Enhanced Email System: Delivery rates have been improved, and we’ve introduced backup systems to ensure seamless communication.
PayPal Integration Fixes: We’ve resolved bugs and improved dependability based on your feedback, ensuring a smoother checkout process.

These improvements are just the beginning, and we’re excited about what’s to come.

As we move into 2025, we’re refining our focus to prioritize what matters most to you. At the top of that list is ensuring a reliable, stable platform, and we're dedicating our energy to delivering exactly that.

We’re committed to keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.

Thank you for being the most important part of Teachable.

Teachable is partnering with Hotmart Technology

0 min

March 30, 2020

Today marks an enormous step forward for Teachable and our community.

We’re excited to announce that we have been acquired by Brazil-based Hotmart, one of the leaders in the digital product distribution market in Latin America and Europe. This new partnership will allow us to further our mission and to empower even more creators—now, on a truly international scale.

We’ll still be the Teachable you know and love but with this partnership we can accelerate our product development, continue hiring best-in-class talent, and help you reach global audiences—all with the help of Hotmart.

We’ve spent the last six years empowering creators to transform their knowledge into income. Our platform has been used by 50,000+ creators, who have gone on to teach nearly 30 million students, and in the process have earned over half a billion dollars! Every single day, our members reach more than 20,000 new students and earn close to a million dollars.

What we found in Hotmart was a similar story. You could call them the Teachable of Brazil. They operate profitably at three times our size with creators and employees spanning the globe from Latin America to Europe. The company proudly has millions of students, 150,000 products registered on its platform, sales in 188 countries, and a staff of more than 700 spread around the world. Forbes recently named Hotmart one of the most promising up-and-coming businesses, and LinkedIn has recognized it as one of the startups most sought-after to work for in Brazil.

How does this affect you?

While this is thrilling news for us, rest assured that your relationship with Teachable will not change. Our business and brand will remain independent and we’ll continue to hire for our offices in New York and Durham, NC. Hotmart is committed to helping us serve you better with plans for a significant investment in the product and lots of knowledge sharing between teams.

We will continue to double down on our brand, product and mission, just with more resources. We have a slew of very exciting product releases coming soon and our big biannual summit starting March 24!

Our founder, Ankur Nagpal, will stay on as CEO and, additionally, will join forces with Hotmart founders João Pedro Resende and Mateus Bicalho to serve as a co-founder in the newly formed global business.

A shared mission

We know you may have some remaining questions. As always, our award-winning support team is available from 8am-8pm EDT seven days a week.

We know that this was the right step for Teachable. In Hotmart we found a partner who shares our vision for helping creators excel and succeed. Our motto has always been that we believe in empowering creators to transform their knowledge into income. Hotmart couldn’t be more closely aligned with that vision. Their own driving force is enabling people to “live from their passion.”

We hope you’ll celebrate with us as we grow this now global company and as we bring courses to a worldwide group of creators, business owners, and students.

All the best,

Team Teachable
