Every city is already full of teachers.
Not just in schools.
In kitchens.
Garages.
Rooftops.
Living rooms.
Studios.
Workshops.
Parks.
Backyards.
People who know how to build, cook, repair, survive, sell, paint, code, garden, negotiate, heal, perform, think, and tell the truth about life.
Most of that knowledge is invisible.
Classquake makes it visible.
We’re building a marketplace for in-person learning experiences; small groups hosted by real people across your city.
A person teaches what they know.
A small group shows up.
Knowledge moves.
The host gets paid.
The city gets more alive.
The old education system turned learning into a factory.
The internet turned learning into content.
Classquake turns learning back into something human.
Your city is a school.
We’re just opening the doors.
Why are we having heated discussions online when we can gather and dig deeper? Let's turn the latest online debate into a Classquake room. Curious minds belong together, not behind screens.
imagine hosting a history night or a psychological deep dive in your own home. Gather around a table, spark discussions, and pocket some cash while you’re at it. It’s time to take back learning.
Big Edu has had its fun. Now it's our turn. Classquake invites you to reclaim what you know. It's not just about what you teach; it's about who you teach with. The classrooms that matter are the ones in our neighborhoods. Join the rebellion.
Education and learning are not the same thing.
Learning is natural, education became an industry.
For most of human history, if you wanted to learn something, you found someone who knew more than you and spent time around them. You sat with them. You worked beside them. You asked questions. You listened. Knowledge moved directly from one human to another.
Then we built institutions around that process.
Buildings. Administrators. Credentials. Departments. Accreditation boards. Student loans.
Eventually the institution became bigger than the thing it was supposed to serve.
Now we have a world where information has never been more abundant, yet people feel more disconnected from real learning than ever.
The internet solved the information problem years ago.
Anyone can learn accounting, coding, history, marketing, psychology, or physics online.
Information is not what’s scarce anymore, people are.
The most valuable lessons in my life didn’t come from a classroom, they came from conversations.
From mentors, founders, friends, from strangers I happened to meet at the right moment.
Most knowledge arrives as stories, mistakes, warnings, as lived experience.
The future of learning won’t be built around information, that is already free, it will be built around access to people.
A retired CIA officer explaining recruitment over drinks.
A founder sharing the mistakes that almost killed his company.
A couple talking about what forty years of marriage actually taught them, a veteran explaining what combat feels like, a room full of curious people learning from someone who has actually lived it.
That’s how humans learned before institutions existed.
And if I had to bet, that’s how we’ll learn long after most of today’s institutions are gone.
The 10 year plan:
Make it normal for someone to host 12 strangers in their living room and teach them something they know.
Not on Zoom, not in a classroom, in a real room.
Wine on the table.
People asking questions.
Someone sharing what life taught them.
Our long term plan it’s to change what people think education is.
It isn’t an institution nor a credential; it’s a retired CIA officer explaining recruitment over snacks and drinks. It’s a couple teaching what 40 years of marriage taught them to a room full of curious people.
If we do this right, ten years from now millions of people will be teaching what they know and nobody will think that’s strange.
They’ll wonder why we ever did it any other way.
“i don’t like learning”
yea you’ve clearly never spent a rainy evening in a stranger’s living room with 12 curious people, 3 bottles of wine, and a host who can’t stop talking about something they love
skill issue
A good life is one of continuous learning.
A human being should be able to know how to cook, how to negotiate, how to read people, how to tell a story, how to make money, how to fix things, how to start over, how to lead, how to dance, how to ask better questions.
Stay curious. Never stop learning.
