Fred Wilson notes that Union Square Ventures has invested in Skill Share to transform every community into a campus, every address into a classroom, and every neighbor into a teacher and student. The average class costs around $20. To make money, Skillshare shaves a 15 percent fee from the cost of the class. Even so, Mr. Karnjanaprakorn says that some teachers are able to make upward of $1,000 per class that they teach through the site. (Education Market)
