Business education for rockstars real people

Every ambitious person deserves a great strategic education – not just executives and MBA grads. 

We founded Section for people like you. People who want to be great at their jobs right now, not on someone else’s schedule. People who may not have access to an MBA program or executive education, but have the fire, motivation, and ambition to build something incredible. 

That’s where we come in. We’ll give you the tools, frameworks, and strategies to get to work right away – no gatekeeping involved. 

Because for us, education isn’t just about what you learn. It’s about what you do with it. 

This is your moment to join the AI class

In the next year, the workforce will start to split into two classes: those who use AI to augment their work, and those who resist and stagnate. We want you to be in the AI class.

Our promise to you: We'll be your "optimistic pragmatist" on AI. We'll never exaggerate its potential or act as its hype man. We'll give you proven use cases, share real-life case studies, and help you navigate issues like data privacy and hallucinations.  

Our Promise

Unboring business education you can use immediately

No bad PowerPoints, cheesy ukulele music, mandatory quizzes to prove you were watching, smart-but-super-boring professors, or un-diverse panels. Ever.

Our beliefs

A woman on her computer

People learn best from other people

So you’ll always be surrounded by expert TAs, community  managers, and other students to push your thinking forward.

A woman winning a race

It’s our responsibility to level the playing field

So we’ll do everything we can to provide you high-value business education at a fraction of the cost of an MBA.

A woman over a pile of books looking suspicious

To build something new, you have to question everything

So if the “traditional way of doing things” isn’t working, tell us – we’ll brainstorm with you about how to do better.
