The Learning Software That Keeps Getting Out of the Way
Litmos started with one contact center and a stubborn idea: training software should be easy to launch and easier to use. Three owners and millions of learners later, simplicity is still the product strategy.
The 25-Year-Old LMS Betting Its Second Act on AI
Intellum spent a quarter-century turning corporate training into customer education. Now it is rebuilding the learning stack around AI agents - while trying to prove that a course can move revenue, not just completion rates.
Geniebook
Geniebook is a Singapore-based edtech company that pairs a proprietary AI engine with human teachers to deliver personalised learning for primary and secondary students across Southeast Asia. Its platform generates adaptive worksheets that target each student's specific knowledge gaps, streams live online classes led by experienced educators, and offers real-time teacher chat support - all aligned to Singapore's national (MOE) curriculum. Founded by former tutors Neo Zhizhong and Alicia Cheong, the company has grown from an offline tuition business into a regional platform serving more than 220,000 students, and has since expanded into hybrid online-plus-physical learning centres.
Edorer
Edorer is a San Francisco- and Bengaluru-based edtech company building an AI-powered learning, assessment and proctoring platform alongside a global university network. Its software lets universities, enterprises and governments run online courses, AI-proctored exams and talent assessments, while its SPICE network and blockchain-based CredX credits exchange aim to let students pick courses across institutions worldwide and carry verifiable, stackable credits between them. The company's stated mission is to internationalize universities and make affordable international education and exposure available to every higher-education student.
Parsnip
Parsnip is a New York-based consumer AI startup building the "Duolingo for cooking" - a personalized learning engine that teaches people to cook through short, gamified lessons instead of just handing them recipes. Founded by PhDs Andrew Mao and Dan Sosa, the app maps cooking into a knowledge graph of 400+ skill levels and uses a human-in-the-loop LLM system to generate lessons, teaching the hows and whys behind food so novice cooks gain confidence in the kitchen.
RemNote
RemNote is an all-in-one learning platform that fuses note-taking, PDF annotation, and spaced-repetition flashcards into a single app, so students never have to bounce between Notion, Anki, and Quizlet. Born at MIT in 2020, it lets learners write notes and turn them into flashcards instantly - or let its AI generate cards, quizzes, and summaries from PDFs, lectures, and videos. Backed by a $2.8M seed round and used by hundreds of thousands of learners (especially medical and pre-med students), RemNote aims to reinvent how people learn, think, and remember.
Thought Industries
Thought Industries builds an AI-first customer learning and intelligence platform that helps B2B and B2C companies train and educate the people outside their walls - customers, partners, and members. Founded in Boston in 2013, it turned the idea that 'external learning' deserved its own category into a business serving more than 21 million active learners, and now positions every lesson as a signal that drives adoption, retention, and revenue.
Stepful
Stepful is a New York-based healthcare education company that trains people for entry-level allied-health jobs - medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, surgical techs and more - through fast, affordable, AI-supported online programs. Roughly four months and about $2,500 replace a two-year, $20,000 community-college track, and graduates are funneled toward clinical hours and full-time jobs through a network of partner clinics and hospitals. The company pairs a B2C learner business with a growing B2B arm that helps health systems build their own talent pipelines, positioning itself as an end-to-end answer to the U.S. healthcare worker shortage.
