We’re already a few weeks into OC-X Cohort 9 and OC-I Cohort 2. Both cohorts have been diving deep into expert and mentor led sessions, and this week, we switched things up a bit! For @kittyvo_’s OC-X session on Designing Valuable Achievements, OC-I was invited to join in—bridging founders and builders in one conversation. They explored how achievement systems enhance engagement, the core components of Open Campus Achievements (OCA), and real-world case studies from past OC-X companies integrating OCAs and OC-ID. Two cohorts, one shared lesson: well-designed achievements don’t just track progress—they create value.
