Maven, an Austin, Texas-based platform for cohort-based courses, raised $20m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations
Founded by veteran founders Gagan Biyani, Wes Kao, and Shreyans Bhansali, Maven works with creators, including Li Jin, Lenny Rachitsky, and Sahil Lavingia, to help them create online courses centered around interaction, community, and accountability. These courses enable creators to deepen relationships with their audience while simultaneously earning significant income. These cohort-based courses, where people learn together at the same time, also deliver more impact and higher completion rates than video-based online learning.
