SuperSummit, a London-based startup, today launched its platform for online live video interviews with experts out of beta after testing the service for a few months in Italy. During the beta, the company built a community of about 50,000 members and created over 300 hours of video interviews in English and Italian with the likes of Brad Fed, Guy Kawasaki and Seth Godin. All of this content can currently be accessed for free. The company says its ultimate goal is to add disruption to the education market, but it also wants to offer an alternative to what it calls the “coldness and insularity of webinars” and the lack of interactivity associated with pre-recorded video courses.” The team is mostly going after the lifelong learning sector market. The company believes it has found a gap in the market between basic online videos and massive open online courses (MOOCs). While SuperSummit doesn’t offer courses or degrees, it does give its users instant access to information from experts in a live conference format.
