Our Story

In the simplest of terms, GooRoo is a place where talented, brilliantly accomplished people can teach those looking for practical, hands on knowledge. Conveniently.

GooRoo is made up of a number of websites, or “channels” online. Each channel represents a different practical niche — such as cooking, home repair, or music — and is taught by real-life professionals who want to help others learn.

We’re interested in making it as easy as possible to learn really amazing things. GooRoo can reach you anywhere you have an internet connection. You can really learn on your own time, in your own way

GooRoo’s mission is to build and grow a network of websites for the purpose of connecting skilled GooRoo Publishers with an interested audience, and to leverage this software in a variety of industries. GooRoo will meet and exceed visitor expectations by providing a competitive learning focused social network with regularly added quality controlled content.
