Learnerbly operates an online marketplace offering books, podcasts, conferences, courses, coaching and more from over 250 providers including Blinkist, Masterclass, Pluralsight and General Assembly. The platform targets engineers, marketers, finance and sales teams at scaleups and midmarket companies (up to ~2,000 employees) and aims to support overstretched people teams with limited in-house L&D expertise. Clients named in the article include Hellofresh, King, WeTransfer, Curve, Busuu and GoCardless. The company has positioned itself amid larger learning platforms such as Workday Learning, Cornerstone and 360Learning while focusing on the midmarket. Founder Rajeeb Dey MBE previously scaled Enternships and remains a visible leader for the business. Learnerbly has gained traction in the shift to virtual and hybrid work driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the “Great Resignation,” which the company and investors cite as increasing demand for L&D solutions. Learnerbly provides a curated professional development SaaS platform that matches employees to learning opportunities and captures feedback to assess impact. The platform curates recommendations through peer-to-peer insights and contributions from over 100 industry experts, and more than 50% of recommendations are free or low-cost. Employers can allocate learning budgets which employees spend on courses, books, conferences and coaching while HR gains visibility into choices and ROI. The company positions its product as a "Development Management System" focused on application of learning rather than solely knowledge acquisition. Enternships is the parent legal entity and will remain as a free, self-service jobs platform while Learnerbly operates as the paid development product. Learnerbly already counts clients including IDEO, carwow, and ustwo.
