We kept running into the same two problems, and no platform seemed built to solve either one.
The first: most online courses never get finished — not by students, and often not even by the creators trying to build them. Roughly 87% of courses go unfinished. People sign up full of intention and drift away. Creators start with real expertise and stall out somewhere between the idea and the launch.
The second: the tools meant to help often got in the way. We come from education, and we've spent years working closely with the platforms creators use to build and sell online. They're powerful — and genuinely painful to use. Worse, most of them take a cut of every sale, so the better you did, the more they took.
Built to get you there
Courshway is our answer to both. We think a course platform has exactly two jobs: get you launched, and get your students to the finish. Everything we build serves one of those two goals — and nothing exists just to pad a feature list.
So the tools do real work. An AI course builder turns a short interview into a full outline and helps you write in your own voice, so the blank page never stops you.
A student tutor, trained on your course and your videos, answers questions the moment someone's stuck — the kind of support that actually keeps people finishing.
And because we come from teaching, we know that when software gets in the way, people give up. So we built Courshway to stay out of your way. Everything is where you'd expect it. No manual required.
Your money stays yours
Here's the part we care about most: we never take a cut of your sales. You pay a flat monthly price, and every dollar your course earns is yours. We'd rather earn your subscription by being genuinely useful than by skimming a percentage of what you built.
That keeps us honest. If Courshway isn't helping you launch and sell, you leave — so our whole job is to be worth keeping. When you launch, when your students finish, when you sell more, none of it comes out of your pocket. We're just glad to be part of it.
