Jumpcut is a Y combinator and venture-backed startup that creates cinematic online courses for entrepreneurs.
The founding team at Jumpcut has years of experience creating binge-worthy content — we’ve
created
multiple viral YouTube channels that now have over 4.5 million subscribers and over 500 million
views. We’re now taking that content creation experience and applying it to the monotonous world
of
online education.
If you’ve ever taken an online course, you already know that 99% of them suck. That’s because
they
all do the same thing: record a dry and uninspiring instructor who talks to the camera for hours
on
end. While this is fantastic for getting over an Ambien addiction, it’s atrocious for actual
learning.
Think about what can be done with video: we have the ability to create things like Avatar, The
Dark
Knight, and Game of Thrones, but the status quo when it comes to online courses is this. In an
ice
cream parlor of unlimited flavors, every other online education company has opted for vanilla.
We
have our eye on the mint triple chocolate chip birthday cake cookie dough with strawberry
whipped
cream and banana nut sprinkles.
Our team is approaching online learning in a completely new way: combining educational content
with
compelling stories, captivating cinematography, creative soundtracks, and much more. The result
is a
beautiful course that feels like a movie. We believe the future of education lies in creating
world-class content.

Here’s a visual example of the difference between most online courses, and ours.
