Our take
Many organisations today are grappling with growing skills gaps as roles evolve faster than traditional training models can handle. Business leaders increasingly recognise that continuous learning is no longer a "nice to have", but a critical driver of growth, performance, and retention. So, this shift has created strong demand for modern learning platforms that can scale across large, diverse workforces and adapt to changing needs.
Enter Rise Up, a learning software provider committed to addressing this challenge. Its innovative solution combines various training methods, including eLearning and face-to-face sessions, to enhance performance and foster engagement within organisations, With a product suite available in over 20 languages, Rise Up has already made a substantial impact on companies like Aa, Schneider Electric, and Domino's.
Founded in 2014, Rise Up has grown rapidly, with revenues and team size roughly doubling year over year as adoption has expanded across Europe and beyond. Backed by significant funding too, the company is focused on scaling its commercial operations, continuing its European expansion, and investing further in its product.
