About Cademy

Cademy is a fast growing startup, based in Edinburgh, that is building a marketplace and tools that are powering the future of Education.

Currently finding a good, reputable educator to learn with is a pain, with the lack of reviews, out-dated booking tools and general lack of information. We aim to fix this by providing educators the tools they need to operate their businesses, while also making their courses & workshops more visible & accessible to their customers.

We are expanding our engineering team to continue to build on our vision for the future of education.

What we are building

There are two sides to what we are building; on one side we intend to be the world’s largest (and best) marketplace for courses and workshops, and on the other a set of tools that educators can use to power their businesses and allow them to focus on the teaching, not the admin.
