Our take

Articulate is a SaaS based training platform for SMBs and Enterprises, aiming to empower anyone – not just learning professionals – to deliver training to a business.

The business was founded in 2002 as a plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint, and was entirely bootstrapped until a 2021 funding round of $1.5 billion (the largest Series A round in US history). Since its launch, it has grown significantly: Articulate now serves 120,000 organizations and around 130M learners customers across 172 countries, including every single one of the Fortune 100.

The company has used this major funding round to expand aggressively, expecting 10x growth over the next few years. Articulate is already the most dominant player by far in course authoring apps, and it has capitalized on the significant opportunity in targeting businesses that are looking to move from in-person to online-based learning.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Articulate

  • We're committed to hiring people with minoritized identities and supporting these employees at every level in the organization. We employ inclusive hiring strategies, coach managers on inclusion, and regularly audit salaries and development opportunities to ensure equity company-wide
  • We're creating thriving spaces and positive experiences for all employees. Our employee resource groups (ERGs) create a sense of belonging, cultivate relationships, and build support structures between people with similar backgrounds and experiences. We incorporate DIBs programming into our annual company retreat and sponsor professional development organizations focused on marginalized communities
  • We're continuously expanding our capacity to support each other across various identities. We offer training and coaching to help our team understand how to build and participate in an inclusive culture—at work and throughout their lives. For example, every Articulate employee participates in "Look Deeper: Race" training, which includes discussions on how we collectively build a diverse culture of equity, inclusion, and belonging amongst our Articulate and Rise.com teams. We also regularly hold virtual lunch and learns, have virtual guest speakers, and offer educational e-learning courses on celebrations and histories of various cultures
  • We work to provide employees with clear guidance and institute company-wide practices that support our diversity and inclusion efforts. Our DIBs committee is composed of a rotating group of Articulate employees (including executives) who foster a culture where employees feel empowered, accepted, respected, valued, and safe in all our differences. The committee explores ways we can improve practices related to DIBs and develops strategies for strengthening the hiring, support, and retention of underrepresented employees
  • We measure how we are doing meeting our diversity and inclusion goals through an annual engagement survey. The DIBs committee analyzes results, highlights themes, and makes recommendations for improvement
