Internet Pipes has blown me away ā such a unique and high-value offering. I previously worked as an editor at a trend hunting firm, so I always considered myself an internet sleuth of sorts. But the breadth of tools/tactics covered here has been amazing.

Steph (and Cal) have done great work on IP. Loving what I've learned and the people I've met so far.
Very satisfied with the investment. Lightning-fast customer service and bonus points for IRL nationwide meetups.
I've discussed and shown this to non-native internet friends, and the first time, they didn't really get it. Then they asked questions about something they saw online, and the AMOUNT of data I pulled for them (for free) astounded them. Happy to say they are now believers.

Internet Pipes is literally one of my favourite items Iāve ever purchased! All the tools and resources shared on internet pipes have really shown me how much information is available on the internet and the variety of it!

Internet Pipes is an absolute winner.
So much juice to squeeze from every section - a treasure trove of practical and actionable strategies, learnings, and tools
This almost never happens for me with online content & courses:
I could not put my laptop down as I read every word and watched every video - and then did something with it!
This content is super well done and thorough, I am so happy I came across this gem!
Internet Pipes with @stephsmithio has been one of the coolest courses Iāve bought in years.
Itās changing the way I think about market research, and Iām finding new opportunities that I never would have before. Thatās saying something since I been doing market research onlineā¦

This is such a treasure. Honestly, initially I was a little hesitant about spending $350 outright, but I treated like a New Year gift and an investment to myself. I can already see that itās so much more worth than $350.
A couple months ago I met Niko Pajkovic at an Internet Pipes (thanks Steph Smith) meetup in Toronto. We bonded over beer, burnout, and the creeping sense that AI might be better at our jobs than we are.
Instead of spiraling, we teamed up.

Internet Pipes is one of the most useful tools Iāve added to my digital toolkit. Itās clear, well-organized, and full of practical resources for anyone running a data-driven small business or building something with research and intention behind it. I consider it a must-have for any entrepreneurial mindāit lives on my Bookmark Bar, aka my digital nightstand.
What sets it apart is the intentionality. Steph clearly knows her stuff and has put a lot of thought into how people learn and take action. The videos are short, direct, and easy to followāmaking it simple to find what you need without wasting time. Iāve already discovered new tools and ideas Iām using in my business, and itās saved me hours of research and helps me make decisions with more confidence.
The community around Internet Pipes is a bonusāfriendly, smart, and full of people who are genuinely building and sharing. Itās one of those rare resources that actually respects your time while helping you grow.

Steph was kind enough to offer me a scholarship, and it turned out to be incredibly valuable. The data shared within the community, combined with Stephās active engagement, made the experience truly worthwhile!
Benjamin Leonard
Not to blow smoke... but this is probably the single best investment I've made on my journey to becoming more digitally savvy and learning to spot trends/potential opportunities.
The Notion content is very thorough, and so even a year later, I feel I've only scratched the surface. I'm also really enjoying the conversations everyone is having in Discord. And the events have also been great, both IRL and online!
Van Goodwin
This community and collection of resources demonstrated a world of tools and techniques I never imagined were available to me. Going through it leaves you feeling like you have a secret superpower that was hiding in plain sight the whole time.
Spending time learning just 10% of whatās there will give you what you need to punch above your weight. My only regret is that thereās too much information for me to effectively put into action (but thatās entirely on me).
Iām scheduling an āInternet Pipesā weekend for myself in a couple of weeks to dedicate a couple of days just to explore whatās here, if that tells you anything.
Sanjeev Nair
There are products and courses that promise stuff, and then there are those that go above and beyond and just blow you away with the value delivered. Internet Pipes is the ultimate bar for the latter. The content is pure gold provided you are ready to put in the work and dig into a massive repository of stuff. Steph and Cal are the most likeable, grounded people I've met, and the community that gets together for the unique events is super inspiring as well. Internet Pipes has been a hugely refreshing breath of fresh air that I'm glad to have discovered.
Caesar Nguyen
The core content on finding ideas, trends, validating demand, differentiating trends from fads, learning more about the world through the various tools we can use to understand user behavior on the internet. And most importantly, all of the events and the thriving community that is willing to meet up and also share all of our learnings together!
Chao Lam
Itās hard to describe what Internet Pipes is. It is at once a community, a course, a set of important tools and learnings and perhaps most importantly a mindset that you too can win on the Internet. The amazing thing is that it is excellent in each of these dimensions. It has encapsulated all that Iāve learned in the past decades from figuring how to harness Hannah Montana SEO for a MySpace Layout site, to helping folks snag bonuses in FarmVille and keeping up on Twitter/X via @threadreaderapp
Oscar Sanchez
Love all the new tools and ways of applying them that the community shares. My best investment from last year!
Teera Price
I've really loved being a part of Internet Pipes. Just a few of the things I've appreciated: the community vibe, meeting people at IRL events, learning from people who are also entrepreneurs (or interested in that), tools recommendations, asking / answering questions (tools or business related), and getting Steph's direction. Highly recommend!
Dave Lin
Out of all of the communities I've joined, this is easily the most fun because of the community. I've met a lot of people compared to other courses/communities and they've all been wonderful to have in my internet stranger circle.
Akaash Nanda
Really high quality of member. Intellectual curiosity and rigor are there. Fun to talk about anything with these folks, especially IRL.
Gage Eller
Genuinely feel this was worth the money and has a unique feel compared to other communities I'm in!
Kristofer Barnes
I greatly enjoy a community like this being accessible to those without access to proximity zones like SF/NY. I really appreciate all of the time Steph & Cal have put into this resource!
Elliott Zelinskas
Every time I check your monthly digests, I leave feeling hyped as hell. Thanks for making this rad community š
Lisa Leite
The knowledge I gained from Internet Pipes taught me how to find and analyze data effectively, allowing me to create a well-researched marketing case study. This material showcased valuable insights and strategic recommendations, which set me apart from hundreds of thousands of candidates. As a result, for the first job I applied to in over five years, I was selected as one of the final few candidates. Internet Pipes is a game changer!
Alina Okun
Internet Pipes is one of the most unique courses I have ever taken. I think about online tools in a completely different way now.
I LOVE the digests. They are immensely valuable!
Sara Wilson
I can't believe it's ONLY been a year! Internet Pipes helped put me on a journey towards so much of what I am doing now with building up my 8-week Community Catalyst process I take brands through, my Community Catalysts newsletter. And much more. It feels like it's been a decade!!!!
Shaggy Eells
Internet Pipes is the Business Compass I Didnāt Know I Needed!
I can confidently say that Internet Pipes is the best investment Iāve made in my entrepreneurial journey. This isnāt just another online courseāitās a game-changing community filled with sharp minds, real-world insights, and a rock-solid framework for validating and selecting the right business idea.
Before joining, I had plenty of ideas but lacked a clear path to determine which one was worth pursuing. Internet Pipes changed that. The structured approach to market research, validation, and strategic decision-making has given me the clarity and confidence I needed.
What truly sets this apart is the community. The discussions, feedback, and support on discord from like-minded entrepreneurs are invaluable. Instead of feeling like Iām figuring things out alone, Iām now surrounded by people who push me to think bigger and execute smarter.
If youāre serious about choosing the right business idea and setting yourself up for success, Internet Pipes is the ultimate shortcut.
Clement Bartlett
Great to have both Steph and Cal working together to make it the fantastic experience it is!
Michael Pichardo
Finished the stations -- so much content! Overall I'm really happy with the experience and feel like I got a lot of value out of the Notion. The community is what I am most looking forward to now! I can tell you spent hours putting all this together.
Easily been my favorite product online!! š Thanks for building this, Steph!
Jacob Katz
The Supply Chain Science session was incredibly valuable. The live manufacturer search with Dave for my buckwheat pillow company was especially helpful, and I'm now working with him on sourcing.
Key learnings that transformed my approach:
- Strategic use of Import Yeti to analyze competitor supply chains
- Power Query filtering to find relevant manufacturers
- Understanding geographic advantages (labor rates, shipping costs)
- Manufacturer sourcing is nuanced and specialized for industries
- True cost considerations beyond manufacturing
Thanks for the masterclass!
