Learning starts with the right expert
Class26 is a curated platform where professionals discover coaches, trainers, consultants, and experts based on real-world expertise, demonstrable experience, and proven results. We believe that finding the right expert should not depend on who is the most visible online, who spends the most on advertising, or who has built the largest following. It should depend on who can genuinely help.
Why Class26 exists
The internet has made knowledge available everywhere. Finding trustworthy expertise is a different challenge. Today, professionals are confronted with endless options, conflicting advice, and an overwhelming number of people claiming to be experts. At the same time, many highly experienced professionals remain difficult to discover because they focus more on their work than on promoting themselves.
Class26 was created to bridge that gap.
Our goal is simple: To help professionals find the right expert with greater confidence.
A curated network
Every expert on Class26 is reviewed before joining the platform. We look beyond certifications, social media presence, and marketing claims.
Our selection process focuses on factors such as:
- Professional experience
- Demonstrable achievements
- Industry expertise
- Client outcomes
- Reputation within their field
- Ability to create meaningful impact
We are not trying to build the largest expert platform. We are building a trusted environment where quality comes first.

Built around trust
Trust is one of the most valuable resources in professional development. That is why transparency is a core principle of Class26.
We encourage experts to clearly communicate:
- Who they help
- What they help with
- Their background and experience
- Expected outcomes
- Reviews and feedback from previous clients
Our ambition is not to become another marketplace. Our ambition is to become the place professionals visit when they want to learn from people who have actually done the work.
Looking ahead
Class26 is launching with a carefully selected group of founding experts. As the platform grows, we will continue to focus on the same principle that guided us from the beginning:
Quality over quantity. Because when knowledge is everywhere, knowing who to learn from matters more than ever.
Learn from people who have actually done the work.
Meet the Founders
Class26 was founded by professionals who believe that expertise deserves better visibility. After years of working with people, businesses, and complex challenges, we saw a growing gap between real expertise and online visibility. Class26 is our answer to that challenge: a curated platform where professionals can discover experts based on experience, credibility, and proven impact.

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
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.
