FEATURING TACTICAL KNOW-HOW

Tactical know-how gets you funded

Example intro email = good tactical info ✅
"Build a strong pitch" = not useful advice ❌
First time founders have a million questions about startups:

How do you get your first 10 users? How do you meet VCs? What's a reasonable startup valuation? How do you think about finding product-market fit?

We find resources that provide answers to first-time founders' most burning questions.
Online courses, Google, and ChatGPT fail when learners are told fluff, rather than detailed tactical info on best-practices and norms in the startup community.

We ditch the fluff, so you can find step-by-step guides and tactical essentials from experienced founders, VCs, and operators.
Can’t find what you need using our search tool? Send us an email! We'll find you a resource by hand or ask our Slack community of operators.
ABOUT GEMS

Built by true believers in learning

Gems was founded in 2021 as a rejection of the idea that adults quit their skill development goals due to laziness or limited natural ability.

Instead, our team believes that learners get stuck because learning online is still incredibly hard. Hard to find what you need, hard to know what you don't know, hard to tell if you're on the right track. Knowledge is gate-kept and learners are frustrated.

Our mission is to empower learners globally by make online learning easier and more reliably effective. To us, this means putting the best content in one place, planning start-to-finish learning journeys, and building a stellar suite of learner support. Interested? We've love to hear from you.
