Virtually lets you run cohort-based, live courses powered by Zoom. It comes built-in with support for Stripe payments, automatic attendance tracking, a modern LMS, live event management, and more…
Congrats @ish! Just as Substack as empowered thousands of creators to make a living writing content, Virtually could empower the next generation of educators to make a living while providing a collective alternative to expensive universities.
Congrats Ish! Despite you being a UMich alum, love what you and the team are building at Virtually and can't wait to see the impact you'll be making on the education landscape going forward!
Hey my friends, I'm founder of Globoversity.Com and this is EXACTLY what we were looking for with our Beta release. Super grateful a friend sent this. Question is do you have any "built for you" options in the future.
What's up, Product Lovers!-
My name is Ish and I'm the Founder & CEO of Virtually (YC S20).
Programs like Y Combinator, On Deck, Lambda School, Building a Second Brain, and so many others have shown the power of what community-based learning can do... These programs are so much more than just an online "course."
They're immersive virtual experiences that can give you access to world-class mentorship, like-minded peer groups, and education that costs a fraction of a traditional University program.
We want to empower anyone to build programs just like these... without the hassle of hiring engineers to build custom software or duct-taping dozens of different tools together
Virtually lets anyone run cohort-based, live online courses on top of Zoom. It comes with out-of-the-box support for Stripe payments, Zoom attendance tracking, student management, and loads more.
If you're interested in starting one of these next-generation online programs, give Virtually a whirl. We'd absolutely love to hear what you think 🙏
Ish
Founder & CEO, Virtually

@tryvirtually@ish this product is SO needed given the shift towards virtual learning! And congrats on iterating on customer needs so rapidly, excited for this launch
@max_greenwald@jasmine_cole It actually makes a lot of sense. I think Max meant that Virtually can be used for any sort of existing or new virtual classes, programs, bootcamps, etc - you name it! Like now you can use Virtually to run an On Deck-like virtual program for rising cake decorators (super random example haha).
I'm a HUGE fan of Virtually and was lucky to be one of the Beta testers for V1. I can't wait to see where this goes and hope to use it with HackingPM :)
