Love Circular is a platform that helps designers, software and data engineers level up their skills and incomes. They train talent and place them in real-world tech roles. Students earned $30M in annual salaries in 2024.

The challenge

Streamlining a scattered learning stack

The outcome

A learning platform built with Next.js, Vercel, and Supabase.

The MVP included student dashboards, course modules, and embedded live and recorded sessions using StreamYard.

Students could log in, join live sessions, rewatch recordings, and track progress, all from one platform.

Design was responsive across mobile and web to reduce friction during onboarding and use.

The impact

The MVP never went public, as a £500k fundraising commit fell through and the company had to let go of staff.

Internal tests showed strong engagement, low churn, and high recurring usage from students.

Students reported improved learning experiences by having everything in one place instead of juggling multiple tools.

Building the MVP highlighted how a fully-owned learning environment improves retention and user satisfaction.
