"We exist to unlock positive potential in people through a love for learning”

Founded by SA entrepreneur Melvyn Lubega and Australian national Andrew Barnes in 2015, the edtech platform collates existing learning material from leading global educational institutions into a central digital library, making corporate training simple for employees and employers.

“It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come, but our North Star has remained the same, which is that we exist to unlock positive potential in people through a love for learning. I think that, ultimately, this raise validates the size of the problem we’re trying to solve and the size of the opportunity to address that problem,” said Lubega.

The platform currently services 3.5 million learners in over 1 600 corporates worldwide. This investment will be used to expand and improve the current offering, create new, innovative learning tools and resources and penetrate US, European and SA markets through new partnerships.
