Where we’re learning*: Maven.
Maven is a marketplace of cohort-based courses taught by the internet’s best educators. Over 10,000 ambitious professionals from companies like Google, Coinbase, and Airbnb have taken Maven courses to accelerate their careers. Maven just released 100+ courses as part of their Fall Lineup. And we handpicked a group of our favorites that we think you’ll love. Check them out here.
Tool we’re loving*: 99designs by Vista.
You’ve probably heard of it—the platform that makes it ridiculously easy for you to work with freelance graphic designers from around the world. You can either run a design contest or get paired with an awesome designer 1-on-1. We ran a contest for the sleek logo for our Growth Summit.
We teamed up with 99designs by Vista to get you US $40 off your first design contest and a free power pack upgrade worth US $99 (this helps you get more design proposals). Learn more and claim your discount on your project here.
