OpenSesame

edit

OpenSesame is the world’s marketplace for buying and selling elearning courses.

OpenSesame is the first marketplace to make buying and selling corporate eLearning as easy as downloading a song from iTunes.

Using crowd-sourcing similar to iStockPhoto (www.istockphoto.com), our marketplace and technology disrupts the leaders in the highly fragmented $5B elearning content market.

OpenSesame enables buyers to access the broadest and freshest selection of elearning content from a worldwide set of publishers all in one location. Content hosted on OpenSesame’s patent-pending platform will work on any Learning Management System (LMS).

The marketplace enables content developers of all sizes to reach new buyers without investing in additional sales and marketing resources.

OpenSesame launched in November 2010. In March 2011, OpenSesame won the 2011 Angel Oregon Competition sponsored by the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network. OpenSesame is based in Portland, Oregon.
