Skolarships: Empowering Education with Networking
Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Ashton Wolfe & Felix Mohr, the vision of Skolarships originated when the duo came together and realized the existing problem with creators selling unstructured, sloppy courses on Instagram, Facebook, and other social platforms. With the two's experience in personal growth and global entrepreneurship, the solution was crystal clear.
Create a clean, organized system where creators worldwide can upload their courses in customizable formats making the community learning experience seamless and more effective.
Origin & Vision
Skolarships was born out of Ashton Wolfe's extensive experience and unwavering belief in the power of self-education. With a background marked by resilience, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge, Ashton envisioned a platform where creators could thrive without the constraints of traditional educational systems.
Traditional education systems are oftentimes expensive and experienceless. The weighted average cost of attending a four-year college has increased by 14% over the past decade, inflation-adjusted debt has increased by 45% over the same time period, and repayment rates have cratered.
The average business professor has no real experience in the field. Instead of providing real-world tasks and assignments with emotions (money) involved, they'd rather promote academic material that could be outdated in a few years time at the rate the world is moving in.
Founder's Journey
Ashton Wolfe’s career began at 14 with door-to-door sales, where he developed a strong work ethic and resilience from both acceptance and rejection in the thousands. By 18, he was managing sales and marketing at a retail chain, until his discovery of crypto. At 19, the future of Bitcoin led him to scale EasyBit's ATM operations to become the largest crypto ATM network globally. He further demonstrated his adaptability by contributing to the growth of a web3 consulting firm into an award-winning agency during the rise and fall of Ethereum ICOs, as well as outperforming sales in an off-shore banking start-up; all reliant on the "figure it out" framework.
Felix Mohr's journey began in his university days building a translation platform for foreign exchange students to connect with native speakers to learn the language and navigate their journies around the world. The two crossed paths in 2019 and instantly connected and saw the value and balance they brought to each other.
This journey of continuous learning and overcoming adversity resulted in the creation of MohrWolfe, where Ashton & Felix built another award-winning agency with a network of motivated professionals who thrived on experiential learning. This foundation paved the way for the establishment of Skolarships.
