About Cursiva

Cursiva is the marketplace where knowledge lives. We connect people who do the work — engineers, designers, founders, craftspeople — with learners who want to learn from practice, not theory.

What we're building

Most course platforms optimize for volume. We optimize for craft: a composer that makes rich, interactive lessons — quizzes, flashcards, videos, diagrams, polls — feel effortless to author, and a reading experience calm enough that learners actually finish what they start.

• For creators and schools — your own organization at your own address, a focused editor, cohorts and pacing, communities with tutors, coupons, sales insights, and payments that just work. You keep ownership of everything you publish.
• For learners — hands-on lessons, adaptive quizzes that focus on what you missed, progress you can trust, and a certificate when you finish. Free courses to start; buy only what you want.

How we work

We're a small team that sweats the details. We believe software for learning should be quiet, fast, and respectful of your attention — no gamified noise, no dark patterns, no ads. Organizations pay per active learner seat; learners pay creators for the courses they choose. That's the whole business model.
