Skillshare CEO Matt Cooper: Enabling The Gig Economy, 9 Million Users And Counting

We’ve all heard of the gig economy. There are millions of people in today’s world who earn a living as a freelancer. And a good portion of these freelancers are enabled through online platforms both in finding gigs as well as learning new skills.

In today’s episode we chat with Matt Cooper, the CEO of Skillshare, an online learning community for people working in the creative field from design to illustration to photography and beyond. Over 9 million users are on Skillshare and according to Matt they are only beginning to scratch the surface of what the platform could become. Some estimates place the global creative market at $2 trillion and in the U.S. alone $700 billion.

Matt has extensive experience in building and leading companies enabling the gig economy. He shares with us his insights into the growing community on Skillshare as well as his keys to success in leading an organization.

We hope you enjoy the show.
