A noteFrom the team building Anesty

We didn't set out to build a SaaS.We set out to fix our friends' courses.

Anesty is the platform we wished existed when the people we loved tried to teach online — and burned out before their first lesson aired.

Chapter 01

The problem we lived.

We watched brilliant teachers, coaches, and creators try to share their knowledge online — and burn out before their first lesson aired. Eight plugins. Three payment integrations. A half-broken Zoom link. A 30% cut they didn't agree to.

The tools made running a creator business look like running a software company. Most quit. The ones who stayed paid the price in setup time and platform fees.

Chapter 02

The bet we made.

If we could compress the technical setup of an online academy into 5 minutes, remove the obscene transaction fees, and let every creator keep their brand and their audience —

the next wave of educators wouldn't be tech-savvy founders. They'd be anyone with knowledge worth sharing.

5-minute setup, with no plugins to wire
0% transaction fees on the highest tier
A real free plan — not a trial in disguise
Custom domain + white-label, not an add-on

Chapter 03

What we built instead.

One platform that does what you used to need ten for. Courses, students, payments, certificates, webinars, forums, a custom-domain website, the analytics to see what's working — all under your brand, none under ours.

What we believe

The values we build by

Educators first

Every feature ships only after a real teacher tells us it would change their week.

From the inbox · last week

“Can you let me give different pricing to bundles? My weekend cohorts cost less than my live ones.”

All-in-one, not all-or-nothing

You should never have to wire ten tools together to launch a single course.

You own your audience

Your students, your brand, your data. We build the rails — you keep the relationship.

Built for the world

Multi-language, multi-currency, RTL — designed from day one for creators everywhere.

If you have something worth teaching, the world should never have to wait while you wrestle with software. That's why we're building Anesty — and why I'd love to hear what you'd build with it.
