Counter-surveillance and privacy training
An online education business taught by a former intelligence operator, selling courses and content on how individuals and businesses can detect surveillance and protect personal privacy.
The idea, in plain language
An online education business taught by a former intelligence operator, selling courses and content on how individuals and businesses can detect surveillance and protect personal privacy. Revenue comes from selling digital courses and content in a niche education market. The customer is privacy-conscious individuals and perhaps small businesses, and getting started requires the credibility and operational knowledge the founder already had from intelligence work. The only number mentioned is the first $1,000 in revenue.
Where the sources agree
- The edge was the founder's prior intelligence/operational background, not new research.
- Content is sold online as a niche education product.
- Reaching first $1,000 was the headline milestone.
