Been interesting to watch these guys iterate and re-brand from Accel.io and StartupPlays before that. Love the direction of Guides.

It is like http://www.buggl.com/ with udemy.com style. I like the idea. It seems very scalable and profitable idea. If i start a startup on education sector, i'd definately do something like this.

@FrancoVarriano - from what I remember, Accel.io was a learning platform and marketplace. I remember seeing @lauraklein on it. Why the pivot? @ashbhoopathy - you might want to check this out.

@rrhoover I've published a couple of pieces of evergreen content on it. It's been a nice way to monetize content that's not big enough for a book but is too big for a blog post. It also prevents me from having to explain research recruiting over and over and over. :)

@rrhoover - It's funny that we get lumped into "education", our philosophy is actually quite different. The "pivot" is in name only, underlying models are all the same. Would be happy to give you the full story sometime :)

@FrancoVarriano You're welcome. You guys made it super easy to publish. The only thing keeping me from putting more on there is having time to create the content.
