Learn New Skills Offline With Shareknowledge

Before the Internet, people learned new things through education or experience. And while online learning is wonderful, there are just some skills that can't be acquired by watching video tutorials or reading online articles. Founded by Ankit Sehgal, Shareknowledge is New Zealand's “community marketplace to learn anything from anyone.”

Anybody who wants to share their skills or knowledge with others can add a course on the Shareknowledge website. All classes take place offline and can be held at a coffee shop, conference room, or even the teacher's home. Shareknowledge takes a 5 percent cut of the course fee, while another 2.9 percent goes to PayPal.

Sehgal, who still holds a full-time day job, says he works on Shareknowledge from 6 pm to 1 am. The startup is still in its early stages, and Sehgal hopes that in five years' time, Shareknowledge will become the go-to place for people who want to learn new skills.
