For the
internet-taught.
There’s a certain kind of ambitious person who isn’t going to Stanford, Wharton, or any other fancy business school..
That doesn’t mean the ambition isn’t there.
“Same ambition.
Different classroom.”
There used to be a pretty clear path for ambitious business people.
“The curiosity
didn’t disappear.”
- Get into a great school.
- Choose a discipline.
- Join a great company.
- Climb.
For some, that path still works.
For a lot of us, it was never really possible.
- Maybe we couldn’t afford it.
- Maybe our careers started somewhere completely different.
- Maybe sitting in a classroom for two years was never going to happen.
But we still wanted to understand how companies work.
So we learned from the internet.
“Our unofficial curriculum.”
- 01Founders explaining what worked
- 02Marketers sharing campaigns
- 03Investors pulling businesses apart
- 04Podcasts
- 05YouTube videos
- 06Essays
- 07Dashboards
- 08Side projects
- 09Failed launches
And along the way,
our jobs stopped fitting
neatly into boxes.
- Marketers cared about the product.
- Product people started thinking about distribution.
- Operators about brand.
- Growth people trying to understand the business mechanics.
We became generalists because the internet made it possible to be one.
If you fit into any of these molds, Internet Faculty is for you.
It's for ambitious, internet-first people curious about product, marketing, distribution, brand, growth, operations, and how all of those things connect.
To sum things up: we study companies worth understanding.
Every week, Internet Faculty takes one company and one question.
- The products they build.
- How they find customers.
- How they distribute.
- How they position themselves.
- The decisions that changed their trajectory.
The best business schools
admit a few thousand people.
The internet
admitted all of us.
Welcome to Internet Faculty.
One company. One case study. Every Thursday.
