    80 cohorts is serious experience - curious what patterns you’ve seen in how learners engage over time.
    In a lot of cohort-based programs I’ve looked at, people don’t explicitly drop out - they just gradually disengage after the initial momentum fades.
    Have you noticed specific moments where that shift tends to happen, especially with non-technical learners?

    Don't get me wrong I like the idea, but I still believe that to an extent you still need to have a certain degree of tech knowledge. The amount of vibe-coded apps I saw with very high security risks, and poorly coded is incredible

    Sounds awesome, Harsha! Love the focus on no-code and real-world automations—perfect for helping non-tech pros stay ahead in the AI era.

    This is such a smart move...empowering non-tech folks to automate and innovate is where the real impact happens

December 21, 2021 Intro course is done, now full-on marketting.

Hey hackers, so we launched our intro to web3 course and now we're ready to go full-on marketing. this isn't our core product, but a teaser.

We're using teachable to host all our courses and I love the platform. Let's see how this goes on. Metana is WILDDDD!

September 15, 2021 Came up with the pivot idea. Skillup --> Metana

We started off with "SKillup" a front end dev BootCamp. We read "the mom test" book and started talking to hundreds of users. How we find these users are we posted job advertisements looking for ENTRY LEVEL front end devs and asked them questions.

Soon we understood this isn't what we want to teach in our Bootcamp and then our advisor was complaining he's having a hard time finding blockchain devs. We start talking to potential blockchain devs and pivoted our start to a blockchain dev BootCamp.

Learning blockchain dev is hard, especially when there are too many resources.
