Just tell Circle what you need
From building your next course to finding students who need attention, Circle can do the work across your business.
Give students everything they need to learn
Create structured courses and bring learning, discussion, live experiences, and support together in one professional, branded experience.
- Build courses with lessons, assessments, drip schedules, cohorts, and progress tracking
- Bring discussions, Q&As, study groups, and accountability directly alongside course content
- Host live classes, office hours, workshops, and cohort sessions in the same place students learn
- Give students a polished experience across web and mobile, with AI-powered support available 24/7
“Hosting our courses on Circle makes it feel like a real institution — crucial when we’re compared to traditional MBA programs. When you see people meeting in person in the real world, that’s when you realize how powerful this is.”
Ariel Renous — Co-Founder, Augment Business School
Run your entire education business in one place
Keep your courses, customers, payments, email, events, and data connected, with Circle helping automate the repetitive work behind the scenes.
- Manage students, purchases, progress, engagement, and activity from one CRM
- Send emails and create customer segments using the same data from across your business
- Automate onboarding, access, reminders, re-engagement, and other repetitive student journeys
- Build branded websites, landing pages, and paywalls that connect directly to your courses and customer data
“We’ve made over $3M on Circle over the last two years. It supported our live cohorts, self-paced courses, virtual summits, a subscription-based membership, and our first in-person summit in LA. This is the power of a true ‘all-in-one’ platform.”
Tiago Forte — Founder, Forte Labs
Grow revenue across your education business
Turn what you already know and teach into more ways for customers to learn from you, with every offer connected to the same business.
- Sell self-paced courses, cohorts, memberships, subscriptions, workshops, events, and more
- Create new offers and upsells for existing students without rebuilding the systems behind them
- Build journeys that move customers naturally between free content, and higher-value programs
- See revenue alongside learning and engagement data, then ask Circle what’s working and what to build next
“What sets Circle apart from other education business platforms is its incredibly versatile framework. Whether you’re fostering a lively community, sharing informative content, or conducting interactive courses, Circle allows you to have it all in one place.”
Pam Barnhill — Founder, Homeschool Better Together

One education business. Two ways to run it.
Traditional course stack
- Build
- Traditional course stackManually turn your ideas and content into a curriculum, lessons, assessments, and course.
- CircleGive Circle an idea or content you already have. Circle builds the course for you: modules, lessons, assessments, discussions, and more.
- Launch
- Traditional course stackBuild your landing page, checkout, access, onboarding, and emails across different tools, then connect and test everything. Repeat for each launch.
- CircleTell Circle what you want to launch and build it together. Circle creates your landing page, paywall, access, onboarding, and emails.
- Teach
- Traditional course stackCoordinate courses, discussions, live sessions, events, and communication across different tools, links, and logins.
- CircleRun the entire learning experience from Circle. Courses, discussions, live sessions, events, and communication stay connected.
- Manage
- Traditional course stackKeep up with onboarding, progress, engagement, follow-up, and student activity through separate tools and custom automations.
- CircleLet Circle handle busywork. Automate onboarding, access, segmentation, reminders, and re-engagement, while Circle surfaces what needs your attention.
- Support
- Traditional course stackKeep track of student questions and make sure the right person sees and responds to them.
- CircleGive students one place to find answers. They get help from each other, AI Agents, or your team. Issues are surfaced and routed when a human is needed.
- Grow
- Traditional course stackExport and piece together data from different tools to understand what worked. Then, turn those insights into another round of planning, building, and setup.
- CircleLet Circle connect the dots. See learning, engagement, customer, and revenue data together. Ask what’s working and what to improve, then turn those insights into what you build next.
Keep building without starting over
The old way
- Every new course or offer brings another round of building, setup, and coordination
- Running what you’ve already built leaves less time to create and improve what’s next
- Understanding what to do next means pulling together signals from across your business
With Circle
- Turn ideas and existing content into new courses and offers in a fraction of the time
- Build on the same platform, customer data, and automations instead of rebuilding the operation behind them
- See what’s working, improve it, and keep building from there
