Meet our Founders
We're three co-founders who've worked together for over twenty years, built two companies from idea to exit, and still like each other enough to do it again. We share one obsession; fixing the broken market for "soft skills." These are the hardest to learn and the least effectively taught.
At Hardskills, we’re equipping people with the human capabilities to thrive in a world where AI can’t replace judgment, creativity, or connection. Backed by bold investors, and a diverse global team, we’re changing how the world learns the skills that really matter.

Our Clients do it better.
The C5 tool streamlined insurance approvals by reducing follow-ups and speeding up decisions with less intervention.
The isolation tool also helped me address real objections, making customers feel heard and valued.
