ACA Global Academy — Custom Learning Community + CRM (Skool-style, Owned)

TL;DR: A custom community-learning platform (Skool-style wall, courses, member management) plus CRM for a trading academy with 100-200 active students — built from zero for a founder relaunching after a business closure. Next phase: an AI trading-education bot on top of the platform.

The community wall — market analysis and discussion for active members.

Context

The founder was relaunching after his previous venture closed. Off-the-shelf community platforms (Skool, Circle) meant monthly fees, no ownership and no CRM integration. He needed his own platform, tailored to how he teaches.

What I built

  • Community wall (Skool-style): posts, engagement, member feed.
  • Course delivery with role-based visibility and publication control.
  • Integrated CRM: students and pipeline in the same system, no external tool.

Results

Metric Value
Active students 100-200
Platform cost Owned — no per-member SaaS fees
Business outcome Academy growing steadily post-relaunch

Next phase (in progress)

An AI bot that teaches trading practice interactively over the academy's content — turning the platform from content delivery into guided learning.
