Learn from people who’ve actually done the work.
Class26 is a curated platform where professionals learn from experts with real-world experience. No sponsored rankings. No follower metrics. Just real expertise.
Upcoming appearance on BNR Nieuwsradio this Friday
The market is full of coaches. Real expertise is hard to find.
Scroll through LinkedIn or Instagram for five minutes and you’ll see them everywhere. People with polished branding, persuasive content and thousands of followers. Some are excellent. Others are simply good at visibility. Meanwhile, real expertise often stays invisible. That is the gap we want to close.
Not open to everyone. That is exactly the point.

Meet the founders
Ayse Gümüş
Co-Founder
With a legal background and years of experience as a director in healthcare and chair of an industry association, I have seen firsthand how hard it is to find the right expertise at the right level. Class26 is my answer to that. A platform where real professionals connect with real experts, not to collect certificates, but to actually grow.
Murat Gümüş
Co-Founder
After 10 years in financial services, optimizing processes, building systems, and coaching colleagues, I started noticing something that bothered me. Expertise was becoming invisible. Everywhere you look, new coaches appear overnight. Class26 exists to change that. To give the experts who have truly earned their place the platform they deserve.
Why early members matter
First access when we launch
Early members are the first to access the platform, before we open to the public. No queue, no lottery. You go first.
Your voice determines which experts we recruit first.
We use input from early members to decide which fields to open first. Fill out the poll on this page, the more people from your field respond, the faster we will find an expert for it.
Access to a curated network of professionals
Class26 is not an open marketplace. It is a select group of experts and a group of members who are serious about their own development.
What do you want to learn?
We’re opening categories step by step. Your input helps determine what we prioritize first.
