to a decision

You don't have a marketing problem. You have a shortlist problem.

When someone needs serious expertise, they don't want more options. They want confidence in the right one. Class26 helps credible professionals become easier to discover, evaluate and book.

Building it yourself

  • A website you have to build, maintain and explain
  • Booking, payments and invoicing across separate tools
  • Building trust entirely through your own brand
  • Visibility tied heavily to how often you promote yourself
  • Every visitor has to figure out whether you're the right fit

On Class26

  • One professional profile built around your expertise and outcomes
  • Booking and payments in one experience
  • Added credibility from being part of a curated expert network
  • Discoverable by expertise, category and the problems you solve
  • A structured profile that helps buyers evaluate your fit faster

WHAT YOU GET

Four things you stop having to build yourself

Class26 is a selected group of coaches, consultants and senior specialists. We handle the profile, the bookings and the payments, so your time goes into the work rather than into being found.

01

A profile that reflects your standing

Your track record, credentials and client outcomes on one professional page, written for a serious buyer who is deciding between a handful of people, not scrolling a directory.

The practical side, handled

Calendar, bookings, scheduling and payments in one place. No invoices to chase, no separate tools stitched together.

1:1 sessions, longer programs, team workshops, courses or written resources, whichever format suits how you practise.

SELECTION STANDARDS

Read this before you apply.

Class26 is a curated marketplace for professionals with proven, real-world expertise. We deliberately keep the bar high, because trust is what makes the marketplace valuable for everyone.

This is a fit if…

  • You have deep, hands-on experience in your field
  • You can demonstrate real-world results, achievements or client outcomes
  • You have a clearly defined area of expertise and know who you can help
  • You can turn your expertise into valuable sessions, programs or workshops
  • Your professional reputation matters more to you than follower count
  • You care about delivering measurable value, not simply selling your time

This is not a fit if…

  • You are still building foundational experience in the field you want to advise on
  • You cannot yet demonstrate how your expertise has created real-world value
  • You are primarily looking for another place to advertise or collect leads
  • Price is your main competitive advantage
  • You are unwilling to have your experience, credentials or results reviewed
  • You expect Class26 to build your business for you

Every application is reviewed individually. You'll hear from us within 5 working days.

Experts who said yes, and why

“Together we strive for quality and genuine connection, and we share a common vision on entrepreneurship.”

Raquelle Barnhoorn

'' This is one of the reasons I joined Class26, a brand new online platform set up by Murat Gümüs and Ayşe Gümüş that vets coaches and mentors so you can pick yours from just a hand full of solid professionals that are the top performers in their industries. ''

Robin Groen

i

'' In het huidige online landschap zie ik veel geschreeuw. Veel beloftes, snelle succesverhalen en vooral heel veel zichtbaarheid. Maar eerlijk? Vaak met weinig echt resultaat of echte verbinding erachter. Juist daarom spreekt Class26 mij aan. ''

Judith den Dunnen

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Why we built Class26

We spent years working alongside people who were genuinely excellent at what they do — and watching the wrong people get found first. Visibility went to whoever posted most, advertised hardest or had the largest following. Real experience stayed invisible.

Class26 is our answer to that. We read every application ourselves and look at professional track record, real client outcomes, and whether someone can actually teach what they know. We turn down more people than we accept, and that is exactly the point.

The result is a short list you can trust, chosen on experience and proven impact, not on who markets themselves best.

Questions experts ask before applying

Class26 offers three subscription plans: one with no monthly subscription fee and two paid options. Each plan has its own transaction rate, with lower fees for clients you bring to Class26 yourself. Compare the plans on this page to find the right fit for your practice. All fees are explained before you join.

Your application is personally reviewed by the Class26 founders. We look at your experience, expertise and approach to working with clients. If there’s a potential fit, we’ll invite you to an introductory conversation. Review times can vary, and we’ll contact you by email about the next steps.

We’ll let you know by email. Not being accepted doesn’t necessarily reflect the quality of your work: we also consider the fit between your expertise, our audience and the platform’s current needs. If you’d like to understand the decision or explore applying again in the future, you’re welcome to contact us.

No. You can join Class26 to reach new clients, offer your services to existing clients, or both. If you bring your own clients, you benefit from lower transaction fees while using Class26 to manage bookings, payments and scheduling.

Class26 helps professionals discover your expertise and book your offers. We’re building awareness of the platform, but we don’t guarantee a specific number of enquiries or bookings. Results depend on demand, your specialism, your offers and how clearly your profile communicates their value. As a growing platform, we want to set realistic expectations from the start.

You can offer individual sessions and coaching, longer programmes, courses and workshops, and digital products such as templates or guides. Choose the formats that suit your expertise and how you work best. You set your own prices, and we’ll review & publish your proposed offers.

Class26 handles payments, invoicing and the booking process, so you can focus on your clients. You set your availability and can sync your Class26 calendar with Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook to keep your schedule aligned with the tools you already use.
