What we do
AI, no-code, online business and finance — taught practically, for people rebuilding from anywhere.
Powered by Claude and Lovable. You leave with something live, not just a certificate.
Remote-first paths that fit around your family, your visa status, and your language.
Who it's for

Now
new technology, wider reach
new technology, wider reach
Today we're redesigning the whole approach around new technology — AI and no-code tools that let people learn remotely and earn from anywhere. What began with one cohort in Glasgow is being rebuilt as an online platform with global reach.
Aligned with UN SDGs 1 · 4 · 5 · 8 · 10 (and 3 · 9 · 17) and corporate ESG / EDI frameworks.
A note from our founder
"I've started over more times than I can count — across four countries, as a mother, as a founder. SettleX is the helping arm I wish had existed for my own family."
— Katerina, Founder
Whether you want to learn, teach, or partner — there's a seat for you.
