Our take
Go1 is an online compliance, training, and professional development platform helping companies upscale and upskill their workforce through web-based courses. Founded in 2015, they count over 3,000 customers, including Suzuki, Asahi, and the University of Oxford, an impressive integration with Microsoft Teams, and an Adobe partnership on their roster. By all measures the company appears to be performing strong, in an industry more broadly expected to reach $350 billion by 2025.
Like many online learning platforms, Go1 saw a significant increase in engagement and usage over the pandemic. Companies needed an efficient way of continuing training online, as well as a compelling way to keep remote workforces engaged, and Go1 was there to fill the breach.
Go1 has the backing of key players including Microsoft, Salesforce, and SEEK - an investor who has previously backed the likes of similar platforms Coursera and FutureLearn. Moreover, their global expansion efforts are gaining real traction, with operations growing in the Asia-Pacific and MENA regions as well as a successful acquisition of French-Swiss edtech B2B edtech startup Coorpacademy to expand deeper into francophonic markets.
