The Portal: A better way to create online courses

Not another course platform

They have all the money in the world, and we have you.

The mainstream creator economy is dominated by algorithms and isolation. The places we came to gather have been enshittified for gross profit.

People and planet destroying profit.

The tech bros of silicon valley and their investors are fuelling the multibillion-dollar AI arms race and the climate catastrophe.

But this right here is a moment for change.

For building an alternative.

We launched the first version of our platform in October 2025 and since then have grown to 150 Creators and over 1000 Experiencers. 

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

~ Arundhati Roy

At The Portal we don’t look up to ‘gurus’ or ‘leaders’, we believe everyone has something to share to help us meet this complex moment of personal and global interconnected crises.

That’s why we’ve created the platform where you can create and share your work in a values aligned ecosystem.

A space where you can start small and grow naturally, supported by others who share your values.

Marketing your brilliant offerings online is a hamster wheel of constant performance.

Genuine learning and connection? Increasingly rare.

You’re trapped in an endless cycle of content creation, fighting for visibility while you struggle to keep your community engaged.

What if there was a different way?

The Portal combines effective interactive tools with authentic community building - a space where you can start small and grow naturally, supported by others who share your values.

What’s included in The Portal Creator subscription?

While we continue to respond to and build for our community as we seek investment for the next stage, this version serves our 150 Creators in the following ways:

  • Create unlimited Resources and Collections which includes unlimited hosting of video
  • One private community space to run as you please - whether you’re creating a membership, a 6 week course or a one off live event - get your own community space hosted on Circle in our wider Portal community space.
  • Create offers as subscriptions or one off payments and get paid via your Stripe account.
  • Offer tiered pricing models as an anti-capitalist practice.
  • Weekly support with us as you create via workshops, body doubling sessions and open office hours.

What we don’t have:

  • Full blown analytics.
  • Email marketing integration (any integrations to be honest).
  • Most automations you might know from big platforms.
  • Unlimited community spaces.
  • Pay what you can afford pricing.

Yet!

Because we’re building it with you and we’re just getting started.

Growing Together

10% of Portal members are actively engaged with multiple creators' offerings - discovering new perspectives, combining wisdom, and building unexpected connections.
"I've had people who were in Composting discover my one-to-one coaching, and others who worked with me individually join the community space. The natural connections that happen here feel so different from the constant marketing on other platforms."
