About Eequ

Eequ is a marketplace and booking platform for any learning that takes place outside of school or university. But our vision goes far beyond that.

We believe there’s an alternate future for education - one that is radically decentralised.

Decentralised education means an infinite number of learning experiences can be offered, tried, changed, and reinvented continually. It allows for infinite philosophies, pedagogies, learning styles, and interests. It empowers the smallest initiatives with the same tools as the largest. It fosters diversity, agility, and innovation. Our product is a tool to describe ideas for teaching, Searching for Mentors, coordinating groups and keeping records.

This approach means more people can earn an income doing what they love and sharing their wisdom with their communities.

It will be a long life of learning.
