Teachable raises $4M to create a tool to turn any online class into a true business - Matthew Lynley, TechCrunch

Ankur Nagpal started Teachable, a platform for experts that want to create a business around their coursework that helps them build an entire online education suite beyond just platforms like Coursera or Udemy. Niche expertise can be way too valuable for just a simple marketplace like Coursera,  Nagpal says, and experts in those areas — even seminars on mindfulness or Feng Shui — should be able to make more than just a few thousand dollars a year off that coursework. Nagpal said the company has raised an additional $4 million in equity from existing investors Accomplice Ventures and AngelList co-founder Naval Ravikant. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/16/teachable-raises-4m-to-create-a-tool-to-turn-any-online-class-into-a-true-business/
