For teachers, coaches and creators

You built the following. Now give it a home you own.

Web app, mobile app and interactive platform studio: web apps, iOS and Android apps, interactive maps, and community platforms with courses, memberships and events.

Digital Mycelium. Your own platform and app for courses, memberships, live sessions and community. One place for your people to learn, belong and show up, on your brand and in your hands.

Five tools and none of them talk.

Courses on one platform, payments on another, the community in WhatsApp and the events on Eventbrite.

Renting your own audience.

The platform owns the relationship, sets the rules and takes a slice of every sale.

It looks like everyone else's.

Your teaching is unique. The template it lives in is not.

A community needs a home, not a group chat.

The teachers who grow are the ones whose people have somewhere to return to: a place to practise, a calendar to show up to, a library to go deeper in, and each other.

We are the creatives that have crafted some of the world's best technologies, and now you have direct access to us, without the middle man. We've removed the middle men, expensive offices, and countless project managers to give you access to some of the world's most talented professionals at a fraction of the cost of big agencies. We craft high quality solutions that are smart, secure, fit for purpose and delivered on time.

Why us

Why teachers choose us

  1. We have built this before.

    An online academy for a sixteenth-generation samurai lineage with more than 2,000 members, and a breathwork platform with its own app. Same foundations, very different personalities.

  2. Made to feel like you.

    Your practice has a feeling. We design the platform to carry it, not to look like a course marketplace.

  3. Tested, and under warranty.

    Every build is tested rigorously before it reaches you, on real phones and real browsers. We deliver it bug-free and back that with a warranty: if a bug turns up, we fix it at our cost.

  4. You own all of it.

    The code, the accounts, the data and the domain are yours from day one. Stay with us for years or take it in-house. Both are fine.

How it goes

  1. A conversation

    You tell us what you need to happen. We ask about the business, the audience and the deadline, and give you an honest view on fit.

  2. A plan and a price

    A written plan of what we will build, in what order, for how much. No surprises later.

  3. The build

    You see working progress throughout, tested as we go on real phones and browsers. Decisions are made with you, not for you.

  4. Launch, and your first cohort

    We launch it, measure how people really use it, and keep improving what matters.

“You gotta hire these guys, they are awesome!”

The site speaks for itself, but what speaks even louder was the ease of the creation process. What's key is the site's responsiveness to all devices and the clean, professional feel. They have a team of digital wizards and if you're lucky enough to hire them to build your site, you're going to be as honoured as I am.

Next step

Ready when you are.

Every enquiry is read by the founder. Nothing is shared, and there is no sales sequence.

Read how we work first

Questions people ask first

What happens if something breaks after launch?

We fix it. Everything we build is tested rigorously before it goes live and comes with a warranty, so if a bug turns up, putting it right is our cost, not yours.

Can you move my members and courses from where they are now?

Yes. We plan the move so members keep their access and their progress, and nobody gets lost on the way.

Do I need an app, or is a website enough?

Many start with the web platform and add the app when members ask for it. We will tell you honestly which you need first.

Will I be able to add courses and events myself?

Yes. You run the school; we built the building.

What does it cost?

Platforms like the ones above typically start around £10,000, and grow with what you need. You get a fixed price before we start.

Your community

Tell us about your people.

What you teach, how many people follow you, and where they gather now. We will tell you what their home could look like.

What do you need?

Pick as many as apply.

Rough budget?

Optional, but it helps us scope properly.
