Knowable Has Been Acquired by Medium
We’re proud and excited to share the news that Knowable has been acquired by Medium.
Knowable will continue to offer a standalone product, and the Knowable team will work closely with the Medium team to advance our aligned mission to empower people everywhere to share and discover life-changing knowledge.
Two years ago, we had the privilege of announcing Knowable to the world — on Medium, of course — as a first-of-its-kind, audio learning platform focused on personal and professional success.
Since then, we’ve partnered with hundreds of the world’s best teachers and leaders — including NBA All-Star Chris Paul, record-holding astronaut Scott Kelly, top TED speaker and author Celeste Headlee, Reddit-founder Alexis Ohanian, and organizations like MIT, A Kids Company About, and the Upright Citizens Brigade — to create an original library of 1,000+ audio-first educational lessons. We’ve already helped tens of thousands of people launch companies, elevate their careers, communicate more confidently, and build productive new habits, among other positive outcomes.
80% of our members say that Knowable has “changed their life for the better,” and the best part of our job is hearing from people who have been inspired by Knowable lessons to take action in support of their dreams.
We’re also proud to have helped so many creators share their expertise with the world in a new way… and we’re just getting started.
By joining forces with Medium, a company whose product complements ours like no other, we’ll be able to accelerate growth with both creators and customers alike, and continue to push forward on delivering a next-generation experience that helps more people invest in themselves and achieve their goals.
To celebrate the news, we’re offering Knowable memberships at 75% off through the end of the year. Click here to check it out.
This outcome wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of so many. Most importantly, thank you to Knowable’s early members and creators who provided us with invaluable feedback, suggestions, and words of encouragement.
Thank you to our teammates, Jung Kim and Ryan Duffy, for making Knowable the success that it is. We’re so excited to continue our work with the talented team at Medium to build on what we’ve started. A big thank you, also, to our friends, family, and advisors, in particular Adam Sachs, Matt Munson, and Yanda Erlich, who provided sage input when we needed it most.
Thank you to Ev Williams and the rest of the Medium team for seeing Knowable’s potential and setting the bar so high for what a mission-focused company can accomplish.
And last but not least, thank you to Knowable’s investors for believing in our idealistic mission and supporting us throughout the journey. Founders, if you have the opportunity to work with these investors, take it: Greg Bettinelli, Connie Chan, Topher Conway, Rob Hayes, Katelin Holloway, Will Hsu, Li Jin, Chris Lyons, Matt Mazzeo, Alexis Ohanian, Erik Rannala, Mark Suster, Garry Tan, and Sam Teller.
We’re creating something special with Medium, and we look forward to sharing more updates soon.
— Warren and Alex, Knowable co-founders
