We are on a mission to create an alternative model of education though peer-to-peer knowledge sharing communities.
WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG2ZW7St4wk
Lucian's (founder) father was one of the early pioneers in vocational education since 1964. Lucian now runs the vocational education training charity (see www.TakeHeart.in) his father started. Lucian wanted to scale the delivery of community based learning online and started BraveNewTalent with the mission to Democratize Professional Learning. The approach to knowledge sharing communities has a phenomenal opportunity for companies to bridge the skills gap.
THE COMPANY
We are now cash flow positive and getting ready to raise our next VC round. Our customers include the likes of Lockheed Martin (who are inviting 1.2 million US veterans into their community to help them successfully transition from the military into civilian jobs), Manpower and Corporate Executive Board.
OUR VALUES
1. Humble Audacity: we are on a mission to change how the world learns but we are humble in our quest
2. Empowerment: Every team member should be empowered to reach their professional potential and be accountable in doing so
3. Delight: Great is not good enough. We want to wow our members and customers with our products and services
4. Fail Forwards: We have and will continue to make mistakes and embrace failure as long as we learn from it. We are always changing
5. Inspire Lifelong Learning: We value intellectual curiosity and ask: What did you learn today? What did you teach today?
