Creators deserve better than a Drive link
Thousands of talented people here already teach online. They do it through Facebook groups, QR codes and shared folders, because nobody built them anything better. So we are.
Selling a course here is harder than making one
We kept meeting creators with real expertise and a real audience who had given up on selling courses — not because nobody wanted to buy, but because the mechanics defeated them.
Payments are manual
A QR code, a screenshot, and someone checking transfers by hand at midnight.
Delivery leaks
A Drive link gets forwarded once and the course is worthless.
Nobody knows what works
No idea who finished, who dropped out, or why anyone asked for a refund.
The principles this is built on
These are not slogans. Each one has changed a decision we made about the product.
Where we are today
Sikhaku has not launched. We would rather say that plainly than dress up numbers.
Marketplace, not white-label
We could have sold each creator their own app. We chose one shared platform instead — and that choice comes with an obligation we take seriously.
Students belong to Sikhaku
One account across every creator. That is what makes discovery and a single library possible.
So we have to earn it
Creators give up owning the account. In exchange they get a storefront that looks like theirs, followers they can reach, and terms that favour them.
And we hold the line
No competing course on a creator’s pages. Ever. That rule is why the model is fair rather than extractive.
Narrow and deep, not broad and empty
A marketplace with four courses is not a marketplace. So we are starting small on purpose.
Onboard by hand
The founding cohort gets a real person helping structure and price their course.
Launch one subject well
Enough depth in one area that it is genuinely worth opening the app.
Prove completion
We care more about students finishing courses than about signup numbers.
Then widen
More subjects, more languages, and creators publishing from anywhere their audience is.
