What RipeGlobal does

RipeGlobal (RipeGlobal Pty Ltd) is a cloud-based dental education and workforce development platform founded in June 2020 in Bargara, Queensland, Australia, by Dr. Lincoln Harris (CEO) and Cam Harris (Chief Strategy Officer). The company delivers simulation-based clinical training, structured Fellowship programs (Restorative Dentistry, Modern Aligners, Modern Implantology), the Rapid Efficient Treatment Planning (RETP) live bootcamps, and on-demand CPD/CE content to dentists across more than 35 countries. Its proprietary technology stack centers on the CELXP learning platform, a Simulation Lab Kit (mannequin heads, dental motors, webcams, typodont teeth) shipped to learners' clinics, and the AI-powered Clinician Development Tool for skill benchmarking and ROI tracking.

The core business monetizes through four distinct revenue streams: (1) tiered subscription memberships (Free, Student, Starter at ~$15/month, All Access at ~$109/month, plus a developing-country tier at $14/month for 52+ countries); (2) multi-year Fellowship program fees (one-time or installment); (3) individual live event tickets for the RETP two-day bootcamps ($2,000 USD per seat); and (4) enterprise multi-year contracts with Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) via the DAPPr (Dental Associate PowerUp Program). Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer self-serve online checkout, enterprise field sales led by a dedicated CRO, channel partnerships (notably Pearl AI), and a global event calendar spanning Australia, the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. The customer base is anchored by a long tail of individual practitioners (3,000+ paid subscribers, 10,000+ active learners) with a growing enterprise layer (e.g., Gentle Dental Group, Pearl), supported by an 85,000+ member dentist community used as the primary organic acquisition and retention channel.
