What is Okeebo?

• Okeebo is a web publishing platform: a place for people to create content, organizing their thoughts in a hierarchical manner, and for their audience to view that content while having control over the level of detail shown at any time.

Why should I use Okeebo?

• If you are a content creator, here are some reasons you should use Okeebo:
  
  • The writing process is more convenient with Okeebo because your outline and your content are integrated rather than in different places.

Then each reader can choose what is appropriate for them and not feel alienated. In other words, both casual readers and experts can enjoy your content!
  • Get reading statistics and converse with your audience.
• Other users:
  
  • You can see the author's thought process, allowing better understanding and insight on the content.
  • Reading is a personalized experience.
  • The same documents can fulfill a variety of use cases:
    
    • Quick overview

Hello, my name is Ben Pedersen, and I am the founder of Okeebo, a startup passionate about learning. Okeebo believes ideas and information can tremendously impact people's lives, inspiring and empowering them to follow their dreams.

Right now, there exists a wealth of ideas and information, yet people are often only able to skim the surface of it. The main exception is if a person really dedicates herself to a subject, has the right resources, and becomes an expert in that subject. Imagine though if anyone with the desire to could go from being a beginner to being an expert in any subject. And imagine if skimming and going deep weren't your only options, but you could customize your learning experiences so that you could learn as much as you want about the topics you find interesting and important.

Hello, my name is Ben Pedersen, and I am the founder of Okeebo, a startup passionate about learning.

Our society has a wealth of ideas and information, yet people are often only able to skim the surface of that intellectual wealth. If you want to breach the surface, you have to really commit to a subject and dive into it. Imagine though, if you could customize your learning, going precisely as deep as you want in all the topics that are interesting or important to you.

The Okeebo website enables people to express ideas and information in a way that lets viewers control the level of detail they see.
