A Cloud Guru
We're on a mission to teach the world to cloud. Why? Because we think the cloud means a brighter future for people and organizations. Founded in 2015 by brothers Sam and Ryan Kroonenburg, A Cloud Guru (ACG) began as a single cloud certification course and has grown into the leader in cloud learning. We’ve helped over two million novices, gurus and everyone in between advance their career in the cloud, prepare for certification exams, and progress through learning paths to become gurus in digital and cloud innovation. Now, with the acquisition of Linux Academy in 2019, we’ve combined the current strengths and benefits of both companies to create a new and improved A Cloud Guru platform for modern tech skills. With a robust Learn-by-Doing experience, we’ve developed the most effective, hands-on, and comprehensive skills development platform for cloud learning in the world! And we’re only getting started!www.acloudguru.com

Sam Kroonenburg has a better view of this than almost anyone in the industry.

He and his brother built A Cloud Guru from their bedrooms and sold it for just over $2 billion.

Then, instead of retiring, he built Cuttable, an AI ad platform that now holds ad-by-ad data on more than $320 million of Meta spend.

Before they built any of it, his team sat down with somewhere between 50 and 70 businesses to work out what was actually going wrong with AI ad generation.
