Overview

Talespin builds a spatial computing platform to power talent development and skills mobility for the future of work. Founded in 2015 and led by co-founder and CEO Kyle Jackson, the company leverages a proprietary platform to offer enterprise customers, partners, and individuals an end-to-end solution for creating, distributing, and measuring immersive learning content. Its technology uses 3D virtual humans and environments to help people practice conversational skills and simulate jobs with real-time feedback and skills analytics. Talespin supports an ecosystem of learning content creators, leading learning platforms, XR hardware partners, and enterprise customers. The platform is used by organizations including Accenture, Farmers Insurance®, AIA Hong Kong & Macau, JFF, and ten of the largest employers in the Fortune 500, and is reported to deliver accelerated learning, higher employee engagement, and impactful upskilling and reskilling programs. Talespin develops immersive virtual and augmented reality training tools aimed at enterprise talent management, hiring and skills development. Its platform uses game-engine animation assets rather than 360-degree video so content can be reused across modules. Customers include corporate insurance teams where Talespin has helped claims assessors and investigators train on real-world scenarios. The company plans to expand product offerings and develop HR training tools through a new partnership with Cornerstone OnDemand. Financially, Talespin has raised a $15 million Series B and had previously raised $5 million, providing capital to scale its enterprise-focused business. The company emphasizes solving reskilling challenges by creating continuous learning and better skills data for employers.
