Marie Forleo's app is the home of B-School — her flagship entrepreneurship course. The app runs on Mighty Networks. Here's the twist: Marie is a Mighty Networks investor. She profits from the platform and she sends her students' data to it. Her students trust Marie. Marie trusts (and profits from) Mighty Networks. The students have no idea about either relationship. B-School costs thousands of dollars. The students are aspiring entrepreneurs sharing business ideas, revenue numbers, and strategies in the community. All of it governed by Mighty Networks' privacy policy — 9 billion data points per month. Your business secrets in someone else's database.
What they claim: Marie Forleo app is the "exclusive home of B-School" — her flagship course that generated a seven-figure launch
What we found: App built on Mighty Networks infrastructure. App Store developer: Marie Forleo International, Inc. — but powered by Mighty Networks. Forleo is also a Mighty Networks investor, creating a conflict of interest: she profits from the platform that harvests her students' data.
What they claim: B-School students pay premium prices for entrepreneurship training and community access
What we found: All student interactions, course progress, community posts, and payment data governed by Mighty Networks privacy policy. Platform processes 9 billion data points/month. No separate privacy policy for Marie Forleo's courses — it's all Mighty Networks.
