Huddle Up Announces Partnership with Prepare 4 VC

Today Huddle Up Learning, an online platform focused on collaborative cohort-based learning, announced their partnership with Prepare 4 VC, a Boston-based accelerator group founded in 2016 that assists budding entrepreneurs in the early stages of their startup. This partnership aims to add value to Prepare 4 VC’s entrepreneurial cohorts, while giving both companies in-roads into innovating the growing incubator and accelerator market


This partnership highlights the belief of both organizations that a cohort focused on shared solutions and feedback is a meaningful way to help make learning more purposeful and simultaneously build relationships. New entrepreneurs are seeking more collaborative online environments where they can both receive and give critical feedback as they work through the start-up process. Prepare 4 VC’s team provides the expertise and tools to develop entrepreneurs’ professional skills. Huddle Up supports this process by providing an organized way for the entrepreneurs to share their ideas and learn from the feedback of the cohort along the way.






There is a growing emphasis in our current professional world on knowing how to build an online community and effectively collaborate. This community can be especially difficult to create within an entrepreneurial cohort where each user is working within a unique context. Prepare 4 VC Founder and CEO, Jason Kraus, understands these challenges better than anyone and strives to help others find their footing. 


“Building a startup can be a lonely journey, and we’ve found that our cohorts enable a bonding experience with peers of entrepreneurs going through the same highs and lows to build better together. With that in mind, we are very excited to be able to work with a platform like Huddle Up where our entrepreneurs can learn from each other in a transparent way through real-time peer feedback. It’s amazing to see the light go off for all of our cohort members when they realize they now have a community of support they can turn to for guidance and advice, and Huddle Up’s tech helps bring this to light.”


Huddle Up CEO and Founder, Derek Luebbe, expressed his optimism about the partnership.


“We’re excited to work with Jason and the team. It’s a great fit for Huddle Up as a collaborative tool, and Jason and his team know the market, and really have supported us along the way. We will certainly benefit from their experience and expertise.” 


The USA now has over 300 companies providing start-up accelerators and incubators - with a large number providing services virtually due to the pandemic. 


The real value of the partnership will be in the support that Prepare for 4 VC and Huddle Up can provide to these early stage start-ups. It’s a result both Kraus and Luebbe look forward to making a reality.

AI & Organizational Learning - a different approach

Consider this post an invitation to engage for every AI expert seeking to transform the way teams and organizations learn. We consider ourselves AI enthusiasts, but not experts - and we are in need of advice and support from those higher up the ladder. These days, organizational learning is a pretty dynamic space. Everyone's abuzz with AI - and for good reason. Every day, it's linking content and context in fantastic new ways. The content has always been there.  It's the context piece that makes AI so exciting - and also its biggest challenge. How can we get AI to become ever more intelligent about "our" context? How can AI help generate solutions and feedback that are contextualized to what "we" need?   To transform learning with AI, most people are seeking to answer the following question: How can we leverage AI to capture all the relevant data in our learning ecosystem?   We're asking a different question. How can we reimagine the learning eco...

The Evolution of Online Learning: Four Stages and What's Next?

(This 2022 post was modified in July 2023.) The pandemic has made everyone far more knowledgeable about online learning platforms than they were 24 months ago. We each know (and feel) the strengths and the limitations of more than a few platforms.  We each have a long and growing list of features we want to see in the next evolution of online learning.  So, it seems a rather good time to step back and explore the evolution of online learning - to see how far we've come, and where we might be heading. One of the best resources out there is a simple progression chart shared in this intriguing article by Tiago Forte. The Future of Education is Community: The Rise of Cohort-Based Courses The evolution of online learning: What's next? We love big-picture reflections like this. While we are all aware of the current disconnect that still exists between the reality of our online learning platforms and the skills and knowledge we want to transfer to learners, we can all agree that the ...
