About

Go1 is an enterprise learning platform that aggregates curated courses from hundreds of publishers into a configurable LMS/marketplace with integrations (Workday, SAP, Salesforce, Teams), analytics, AI personalization, and playlists.

Mission

Go1 aggregates and curates content from dozens of providers (including Blinkist, Thrive, Skillsoft, Pluralsight and Harvard Business Publishing) into a single platform customers can license rather than contracting with each provider. Its customers range from companies like TikTok to the Singaporean government, and the company says revenues, customers and learners all doubled in the last year. Go1 now reports about 5 million learners using its platform. Growth has been largely organic to date, though the company has started pursuing inorganic expansion—acquiring French‑Swiss B2B edtech startup Coorpacademy in April to deepen reach in francophone markets. Management plans to use new funding to pursue further M&A, explore expanding beyond employer‑sourced learners into consumer relationships, and invest in technology such as VR-based learning and livestreaming. Go1 maintains its own branding across the experience rather than offering a fully white‑label product. Go1 provides a curated online learning platform for enterprises, aggregating some 150,000 pieces of content from roughly 1,000 publishers into configurable ""playlists"". The product includes analytics and AI-driven personalization to measure engagement and tailor learning. The company says it serves about 3.5 million users and more than 1,600 enterprises, with active users spending about two to six hours per month and user growth of over 300% in the last year. Go1 partners with major content providers (Pearson, EdX, Coursera, Skillsoft, Blinkist, Harvard Business Review) and integrates with corporate systems such as SAP, Workday, Salesforce and Microsoft Teams. It also aims to expand features around credential portability so users can carry certifications between jobs. The company is expanding its suite of learning and development services and plans geographic expansion deeper into Europe and across the Asia Pacific region. GO1 is an online learning platform that aggregates professional training and compliance courses from vetted content partners. Its catalog includes over 170,000 courses provided by about 100 partners and is available to more than 1.5 million users across 3,000+ customers. Usage on the platform has grown five-fold over the last 12 months and engagement reportedly tripled in the most recent month. GO1 can integrate with in-house learning management systems or provide its own, and it has strategic integrations with Microsoft Teams. The company is expanding its partner network and aims to continue growth in North America. GO1 is making COVID-19–related learning resources available for free to support teams during the pandemic. GO1 is an Australia-based training platform that provides online training services. The article identifies the company primarily by its training-platform product. GO1 has raised $30 million in a Series B financing. The round was led by M12, the corporate venture arm of Microsoft. The article notes M12 invests in next-generation technology companies. No additional financial details, operating metrics, or future plans were disclosed in the article. GO1 operates an online platform and marketplace where users can browse or create courses spanning compliance, onboarding, and personal development. The company says it hosts more than 500,000 courses and learning resources and has over 22 million users across clients such as Cricket Australia and Adshel. GO1 integrated its courses into Seek’s jobs platform so job seekers see relevant training during the hiring process; Seek is also a customer. The startup plans to use the new funding to expand into new markets around the world. Andrew Barnes, GO1 cofounder and CEO, framed the Seek investment as a step toward deepening the partnership and increasing global presence.
