Company mission
To transform one million lives through education by 2030.
20% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Rising tuition costs, increasingly intense competition for talent and democratised access to learning materials have all contributed to an exploding online education market.
Springboard, an online education platform, provides upskilling and reskilling training courses to people looking to learn in-demand roles. One of its crucial differentiating features is its mentor model - more than 50% of whom are working at Fortune 500 companies.
After getting off to an impressive start in its global expansion to India, Springboard is looking for even more ways to maximise its global impact. One recent initiative has been an 8-figure scholarship program for its bootcamp programs.
Funding has poured into the space as investors have recognised those aforementioned tailwinds. However, Springboard will be confident that its stellar reputation (fewer than 0.02% of its students have ever asked for a refund) and the incredible size of the market will mean that it is well set to succeed against competition.
