#15 | The Agile Growth Entrepreneur Newsletter
This week we explore Evita. Evita is a learn2earn course about getting from idea to product-market fit.
Welcome to this week's Agile Growth Entrepreneur Newsletter
Evita is the learn2earn university owned by students and mentors. People earn tokens as they progress in learning Web3 professions and launching startups.
The tokens are used to unlock deeper educational programs and to represent a piece of the DAOs treasury. Evita helps students find Web3 jobs or launch startups and engages people to help each other to learn and grow.
Their goal is to help millions of people to get a highly-paid jobs or to run a business
Learning something complex is frustrating: the average online course completion rate is 2-4%. We help people to ramp up smoothly, like TikTok, Twitter, or casual games do.
Social media and games create bad habits that eat your time and affect your mental health. Evita empowers you to build better habits that will help you throughout your life.
We split complex topics into tiny pieces and build feasible game-like pathways from the beginning to the pro level. And our supportive community helps you to keep pushing daily
The course completion rate in Evita is 55%, almost x14 times better than the industry average.
Here's how they achieve such extraordinary results:
Learn2earn: students earn tokens while learning.
Gamification: smooth onboarding, leaderboards, quizzes, etc.
Building better habits: the basic course requires only 15 mins/day.
Mastermind groups: students coach each other and discuss and explore together.
Real projects: executing grants & bounties or building their own startups.
Evita's core team members have 10+ years of experience building alternative training processes for multi-billion banks, startup accelerators, state universities, and government bodies, with thousands of students.
Learning like playing:
Community-based: peers help you to keep pushing.
Building better habits: 15 mins/day for learning change lives.
Real practice: execute real tasks and build your portfolio.
Gamification: smooth onboarding, leaderboards, badges, quizzes, etc.
What makes it valuable?
The DAO has many income streams:
HR fees. We help our graduates find a new web3 job.
Tuition fees from employers. Thousands of companies have a $5k+/yr/person education budget, but only 6.5% of employees use it. We make education smooth and engaging, helping teams to boost productivity.
Blockchain grants. Dozens of web3 startups have raised $100M+ and have to grow their ecosystems. They pay devs for building valuable features via open grant programs.
Fundraising premiums. The DAO takes a 5-10% fee and/or 5-7% equity share, and all previous students co-own a stake in the pool of these assets. So, we are all highly motivated to help each other grow.
Applications are open for three courses:
Web3 onboarding: for anyone interested in a deep web3 dive.
Product-market fit: for the founders who want to launch and grow startups without investments and get to the seed round faster.
Solidity: for the experienced web2 devs who want to dive into Solidity.
