FAQs

How do I learn on WONDR?

WONDR is all about active learning amongst cohorts. We host sessions to develop skills and mindset training, from a range of formats:

  • 🎓 Workshops - similar to seminars of 15-20 people with a mentor for professional insight and peer discussion.
  • 🎓 Masterclasses - larger discussions from very experienced professionals who can share expert understanding with Q&A towards end.  
  • 🎓 Talks - these are typically like presentations on deep topics that people want to listen to whilst on the move, like a Podcast, or treat more as a lecture for taking notes.
  • 📚 Book Clubs - more casual and informal discussions to understand new material, news, research… oh and of course books
  • 🎓 On-demand - libraries of recorded lessons and course material are unlocked for when you can’t make the live discussions
  • 🌎 Peer to Peer - we help introduce you to Founders who are tackling similar issues and challenges so that you can learn from a trusted network of support.
What are the membership fees?

The membership is £150 per month (£1,050 for 6 months / £1,800 for 12 months) to access £10,000s of monthly guidance and business support. It’s totally free to apply and browse the app. Plus, we have a 12 month money back guarantee.

There is also a trial period of 14 days, which only starts when you choose your first programme. This will give you access to £1,000s worth of mentorship, advice, guidance and business support that directly impacts your KPIs. Plus, you can earn months of free access by inviting other Founders, Leaders or colleagues to the membership.

**As a Founding Member we’ll also give you 50% off forever - as well as additional benefits.

I don’t need to fundraise for another 6-12 months

The fundraising element of the programme is more to do with the milestones that a lot of Founders are aiming for. Of course, you don't have to raise more money, which is why the core of the programme is to help with revenue generation and building a business of measurable impact.  

Typically fundraising can take 3-6 months and the most investible companies are those that are growing. That’s why we’ve designed this programme to be more about growth and measuring your impact. Even if you decide not to raise, by the end of the programme, you’ll have a growing business or your money back. Plus, that means more negotiation power and control on the valuation if you do decide to raise.

Can I allocate the membership investment to my business?

Absolutely. We can produce VAT invoices for your business, wherever you are in the world, so that management can recover the cost of your learning and development. If you’re a Founder or C-Suite Leader, we’ve put a template together to inform your board of the benefits of this investment - Asking the Board for a WONDR Membership.

If you’re an senior exec, we’ve also put a template together for how you could ask your business to cover the fees - Asking Management for Learning & Development

How do I access recordings from workshops or events?

Once a live event ends, we upload all content into the platform. For community only events, you'll need to log in before you can access the recordings. For public events, they'll become available on our website here, under "events".

Do I get access to a real person at WONDR?

Yes, you’ll have a direct line with daily support - 5 days a week, to the team on WONDR. Plus, every two weeks we’ll have check-ins as to what outcomes and topics you want to learn more about or what hurdles and goals you have.

We understand that the future of learning is becoming more personalised. We believe in a learner-first approach to build pathway that are unique to you.  So, we want to make our learning experience as tailored to your needs as possible.

Feel free to always send a note to communityteam@mywondr.co if you’d like to ask more about the experience.

How sustainable are your servers?

Whilst your security is critical, impact on climate change is also important. We acknowledge that human-induced climate change is a real and serious threat. The WONDR network is set to be supported by 100% renewable energy. There are a number of initiatives we're consciously working towards. The main point here is about our servers:

  • Our servers are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is one of the most robust, secure and efficient providers of cloud computing in the world.
  • AWS has created The Climate Pledge, Amazon’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 - ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement. As part of this pledge, there are goals to power operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
How are my personal details treated?

We take personal data very seriously. Unlike traditional social platforms, who sell your data - we’ll never sell your information. It’s secure and encrypted at rest. You can see more in our privacy policy here.

Is there an app?

Yes, we are free on the App Store and Play store. We also have a desktop experience to access content on larger screens. Check out our roadmap here.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. You can cancel at any point. The programme requires at least 3 months to see an impact on your KPIs but there are no monthly contracts. You can also request a full refund if you’re not satisfied your business is improving through our collaboration.
