Lepaya is an edtech company which was established with the belief that the right training at the right time is paramount to making organisations more productive. They provide training via a hybrid learning model, combining bite-sized online content with group sessions led by experienced trainers.
Lepaya combines "hard" skills with "soft" skills, which they call "power skills" training. Lepaya has worked with scale-ups such as Mollie, Picnic and Bynder as well as multinationals such as L’Oréal, Microsoft and KPMG.
The global training and development sector is worth billions. With its 2023 funding boost (the largest annual funding raise in its sector) and 2022 acquisition of UK-based SpeakFirst, Lepaya aims to drive its mission to make fast-growing companies more productive by upskilling their workforce. Lepaya will use the funding and acquisitions to further expand into European markets such as the UK, Germany, and the Nordics.
