LearnUp
Reinventing job training
LearnUp trains job applicants online before they apply, then delivers them to hiring managers for interviews. Job seekers increase their chances of getting hired by 3x, while employers like Gap Inc., Sprint, Staples, Dick’s Sporting Goods, the Fresh Market and AT&T reduce turnover and increase productivity. We are building the education-to-employment pathway for those looking for work, while helping employers hire qualified talent, faster.
LearnUp was named 2015 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, and CEO Alexis Ringwald was selected for Forbes “30 Under 30” and Fast Company’s “Most Influential Women in Tech.”
LearnUp is funded by NEA, Shasta Ventures, Greylock Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, SV Angel, Floodgate, High Line Venture Partners and more.
