About us

FoldEd builds courses that teach people practical skills that lead to real jobs—not just more head knowledge or another certificate for the wall.

Our approach

We have a vision for education that delivers affordable, world-class learning experiences that are accessible to anyone in the world.

That's why FoldEd is not a platform or a publisher—we're a team of learning designers who design, write, and build everything ourselves, then deliver it directly to you.

Our approach is different:

  • No shareholders demanding endless growth
  • No investors pushing for quick returns
  • No middlemen taking cuts from creators

The story behind FoldEd

Hi, I'm Simon Strehler. I founded FoldEd in early 2025 because I was tired of building learning experiences that served institutions more than learners. I wanted to create something different.

Now, we're a small team of learning designers who all believe in the same thing: that quality education should be practical, affordable, and give people a real way to prove their skills and land their job.

We're not here to replace universities or compete with massive platforms. We're focused on doing one thing well: creating short, focused courses that teach real skills.

What we believe

These principles guide everything we do at FoldEd

1

Skills over certificates

We measure success by what you can do, not what you can prove you've learned. Every course is designed to build portfolio-worthy work.

2

Quality over quantity

We'd rather create one exceptional course than ten mediocre ones. Every lesson is crafted with care by expert learning designers.

3

Accessible to all

Great education shouldn't be a luxury. We keep our courses affordable and accessible without compromising on quality.
