We're sharing a community announcement on our blog from Mike Williams, announcing a milestone with 500+ founders completing Marketplace School. This was originally shared as an announcement post in the community here.

Hey all, as a reminder we recently launched Marketplace School, which is our online course for learning how to build, launch, & scale a marketplace startup.
‍
I’m excited to share that we crossed a milestone and we’ve now had 500+ founders go through Marketplace School, with many using it to go from an initial idea to launch. Others have also used it to make meaningful progress at the earlier stages. We have lots of success stories that we’re going to be putting together to help highlight founders that have gone on to raise Pre-Seed/Seed rounds from top investors. You can see a great example of this where Mike Powers shared about raising a $3M Seed round for BuildVision here.
‍
It’s awesome to see how helpful Marketplace School has been and founders using it to launch marketplaces and make meaningful progress. If you haven’t gone through it yet, I would highly suggest doing so and it’s one of the best starting points when you join the community. You can see where we shared more about it here, but in short it’s our self-guided course that’s breaks down every step along the way for building a successful marketplace. It’s 12 lessons and each lesson has 5-10 modules, so 100+ modules. We think it's the most comprehensive course for learning how to build a marketplace startup. 
‍
I’d also love to hear feedback after you complete Marketplace School so we can continue to improve it. We’re always updating it and will be relaunching an updated version soon. We’re also exploring the possibility of doing a cohort-based version (also live here in LA or SF), so it would be great to hear from you and if you think this would be helpful in the replies below.

Thanks to everyone that’s dedicated the time to go through it and here’s to the next 500+ founders & marketplaces launching after going through Marketplace School!
