Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Kajabi is a monetization platform that provides creators with a chance to turn their learning concept into a polished digital product - whether that's a course, membership, podcast, coaching program, newsletter, or even a full community.

Kajabi solves the issue of convoluted business functions by providing many of the tools needed in one simple place; including payment integration, forecasting, progress tracking, a visual builder, and more. It supplies a range of plans to suit creators with audiences of varying sizes, allowing a range of users to turn their knowledge into income.

Kajabi has helped its customers build hundreds of thousands of products, and secured an impressive amount of funding towards growing the business. Its acquisition of Vibely, a platform for creators to build and lead vibrant communities, further contributes to the platforms ability to enable creators to manage and build their businesses as they want.

Roughly 60,000 creators use Kajabi, and through the platform they have earned a combined $5 billion in lifetime gross merchandising value. Now boasting a valuation of over $2 billion, the company is focussing on integrating AI capabilities into its offering, including with its AI-powered Creator Studio, and AI Creator Hub which supplies six generative tools that rely on GPT-3.
