What We Stand For
1. Power in Local Ownership
We want small businesses to own their training pipelines, their branding, and their future. We support decentralized learning, community-rooted solutions, and employer-led apprenticeships that keep talent and dollars in the neighborhood.
2. Entrepreneurship for the People
We’re not gatekeepers. We design tools, boot camps, and pathways that help ordinary people become extraordinary business owners—with fewer barriers and more innovation.
3. Worker Dignity by Design
Every course, curriculum, and client relationship centers the dignity of work and the rights of workers. We design systems that train and uplift.
4. Open Access to Economic Mobility
Through our nonprofit arm in progress, CraftED Pathways, we make job readiness and business skills accessible to underrepresented communities.
5. Networks over Hierarchies
We believe collaboration beats consolidation. That’s why we white-label our content, license our systems to small providers, and support co-ops, collectives, and small shop owners who want to teach others.
Our Promise
We will never sell out your future to scale our own.
We grow by helping others grow—simple as that.
