Our take

SmartUp.io started off as a peer-to-peer learning app to facilitate knowledge exchange between entrepreneurs from the Founders Forum network. Today, it is a mobile-first learning platform where users can create, consume, and share content. Its simple content creation tool, gamification elements, and data analytics allow trainers to create engaging learning experiences for their users. The company's white-labelling solution also supports trainers in launching their own mobile learning app fast, without the hassle of going through app development.

SmartUp's release of its Learning Path feature enables structured learning within its client communities. This allows administrators to string courses and/or assessments together for members who are required to meet a set of training objectives. The corporate learning and development market is a large one and with new features such as this being innovated, SmartUp are well-placed to take advantage of the opportunities.
