$400K From His Online School Launched A Few Months Ago

  • $400,000+ estimated revenue

📝 From an interview with Ben Issen…

Right after university, I started a personal incubator called Supercreative that built tools for freelance designers. 

I designed, coded, and marketed over 18 tools, some with the help of developers with whom I split profits. After four years, I sold eight of these tools… and moved on to build a school for adults. 

So, I’m now the co-founder of Side School, where we teach practical AI skills with challenge-based learning…

We launched a few months ago… 

Our one-month bootcamps cost $1400 per person… We’re getting close to 350 students

That adds up to $490,000 💰

Here’s the twist: they’re focused entirely on the French-speaking market for now.

And French is only the 20th most widely-spoken language in the world 🇫🇷

Easy to imagine online AI schools like this doing well in other languages.

Could you build one yourself? 🤔

Or partner with an AI expert to build it?
