We're on a mission to unite humans across the world through knowledge, inspiration, curiosity and friendship. We want to connect people from all backgrounds together, to discover our similarities and our shared passion for every experience life has to offer.
Talent and curiosity are everywhere, and money shouldn't be a barrier to reaching them. Everyone should have access to a great teacher, wherever they're from.
Nothing will ever beat human-to-human learning. We're hard-wired for connection. And in the age of AI, online learning, and exams that say "you're not allowed to fail," we need more than ever to rediscover the pure enjoyment of learning things - sometimes just because we can.
Every paid lesson through 8Billionminds supports this mission. Thank you for being part of it.
Curious how it all works? See how 8Billionminds works.
8Billionminds began in 2011 as a time-based learning community, under the name iSKILLu, progressing to being developed by hundreds of global volunteers, and today being run by an incredible core team.
8Billionminds is run by a small team of current global volunteers, and was previously built by hundreds.
