Mindstone is a London-based edtech platform that enables experts to create engaging courses compiled from existing online articles, podcasts, and videos. The product is designed to help learners remember and learn across a wide range of topics, from astrophysics to zoology. Several organisations and influencers already use the platform to create courses, including The Bitcoin Association, Landscape VC, Flown, Radix, The Body Collective, Jack Edwards, Unjaded Jade, Vix Meldrew, and Eleanor Neale. Founded in 2020 by CEO Joshua Wohle, the company plans to use newly raised funds to increase focus on mobile, advance research and development, hire staff, and grow commercial partnerships. Mindstone's model centers on assembling disparate media into structured, teachable formats and partnering with subject-matter experts and creators to expand course offerings. The recent crowdfunding raise provides capital to accelerate product development and go-to-market efforts. Mindstone offers a compound learning platform that helps users organize, share and take notes on web pages, PDFs and academic papers to accelerate learning and retention. The product aggregates highlights and generates flashcards automatically, leveraging spaced repetition and rapid feedback loops. It targets students and professionals seeking faster learning, and is also used by institutions such as Techstars and Queen’s College London for course-building and group work. The company is led by Joshua Wöhle with co-founders Patrick Cootes, Florian Zysset, Melody Lang and Stefan Keranov. Mindstone raised $2.2M in seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to continue developing the platform.
