    Online education today is fundamentally broken. Less than 10% of people who start an online course today finish it. Why? Because they're bored.

    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 lectures to a 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 when it comes to online education, the status quo is still this: http://imgur.com/a/v2I8o

    Jumpcut is a Y-Combinator and venture-backed startup that's breaking the Ambien-induced model so many online education platforms follow. We don't make videos of monotonous professors reciting text from a PowerPoint presentation. We blend educational content with compelling stories, captivating cinematography, and creative soundtracks to produce entertaining courses featuring YouTube influencers, Instagram stars, and billion-dollar startup founders.

    The result? Beautiful courses that feel more like a movie. Oh yeah -- and an average completion rate of 65%. That's more than 6 times the industry standard. But seeing is believing. If you want a visual comparison of "us vs. them," check out this video: http://bit.ly/2naxBqx

    The founding team at Jumpcut has years of experience producing binge-worthy content. We’ve created multiple viral YouTube channels that now have 4.5 million+ subscribers and 500 million+ views. We’re taking that content creation experience and applying it to the lackluster world of online education. We believe the future of education lies in creating world-class content. Come join us!
