The idea for Bizversity came from a simple frustration Dale Beaumont had seen again and again: business owners wanted to learn, but traditional business education was often slow, expensive and disconnected from the problems they were dealing with right now.
Dale had spent years running live events, workshops and mentoring programs, but he knew there was a limit to how many people those formats could reach. Business owners were busy, many could not afford a coach, and most did not have the time to travel to events every time they needed help. Dale began asking a different question: what if the best business education in the world could live in your pocket?
That idea led to two years of content creation and software development, along with a major investment in production quality. Dale spent more than $1 million building a professional TV studio and worked with more than 250 business experts to create a library of practical, high-quality business education.
By 2018, that vision had become Bizversity, a dedicated business education platform with more than 1,000 on-demand training videos covering 80+ business topics including marketing, sales, SEO, finance, leadership, productivity, technology and business growth.
Dale also believed the world did not need another website. Business owners were increasingly learning on the move, so Bizversity was built as a dedicated mobile platform with iOS and Android apps, and later Apple TV support, allowing people to learn wherever they were and on the device that suited them.
The “Netflix for Business” description came almost by accident. During beta testing, one of the early users said the experience reminded them of Netflix, except instead of entertainment, the platform delivered practical business education on demand. The phrase stuck because it captured exactly what Bizversity was designed to be: a huge library of useful business knowledge, available anytime.
The platform was also designed to make learning easier to navigate. Users could browse topics, create playlists and work through content at their own pace, while BRiN, the digital business coach, helped guide people through the library and keep them moving toward their goals.
For its time, Bizversity was an ambitious technical build. Creating dedicated iPhone, Android and Apple TV apps, managing a large video library and delivering a polished learning experience across multiple devices required significant investment and persistence. It was built at a time when creating that kind of technology was far more difficult and expensive than it is today.
The original mission was also bigger than simply creating another subscription product. Dale wanted to make world-class business education more affordable and accessible to entrepreneurs everywhere, without requiring them to spend tens of thousands of dollars on traditional education or coaching. That philosophy was reflected in the original positioning of Bizversity as practical, fast, affordable and accessible business education.
Then, in 2020, COVID changed the priorities. With so many Business Blueprint clients suddenly facing enormous uncertainty, Dale made the decision to focus his time and energy on helping those business owners navigate the crisis. Bizversity remained open and continued serving users for several more years, because many people still valued and used the platform.
In 2025, Dale finally made the decision to close Bizversity and create space for the next generation of projects and businesses. It was not because the idea had lost its value. The business education landscape had changed, Dale’s portfolio had expanded, and his attention had moved toward initiatives such as 1Brain and other new ventures.
Bizversity remains one of Dale’s proudest entrepreneurial projects. It brought together hundreds of experts, thousands of high-quality training videos and sophisticated technology into a platform designed to make business education easier to access for people around the world.
Most importantly, it proved something Dale has believed for a long time: great business education should not be locked behind expensive programs, geographic barriers or rigid schedules. It should be practical, accessible and available when people actually need it.
