What people are saying about Disco

To run cohort-based courses today is a mess, you need to use about 7-10 different tools. Disco is solving a major pain point, I had to do it myself and that’s why I am investing.

Dan Martell

Founder, SaaS Academy

We have been searching for a new platform to elevate and refine the experience for our community cohort based learning, I am so grateful to have found Disco!

Heather Odendaal

Founder, WNORTH

As a founder whose company grew 10x in 2020 from online courses, I can tell you how limited the tools are, especially if you want a mix of asynchronous and live and community. There is nothing else in the market like this.
