Skillshare Launches In San Francisco And Philadelphia Today With Scholarships

Skillshare, the startup that wants to turn every address into a classroom and every person into a teacher or student, is launching today in San Francisco and Philadelphia with Scholarships.
The Skillshare Scholarship will give away $500 to multiple users in each city for taking its classes. Before today, Skillshare classes were only offered in New York.Here's how the scholarship works:
San Francisco and Philidelphia residents can find a Skillshare class they like, forward to class confirmation to scholarship@skillshare.com, and get reimbursed up to $20.
Skillshare says the offer is good until the $500 runs out. Giving away free classes is a smart way to launch in the new markets.Skillshare was founded by Mike Karnjanaprakorn in New York City; it recently closed a $3.1 million round from Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital.
