Dublin, Ireland and London, UK-based learning technology company LearnUpon has secured a $50 million growth financing facility from Claret Capital Partners to support the expansion of its AI-powered learning platform.

Automating Enterprise Learning With AI Agents

LearnUpon develops learning management software that helps organisations deliver training to employees, customers and members.

Its recently launched Agentic Learning Platform introduces AI agents designed to automate administrative tasks and personalise learning experiences.

The platform allows learning and development teams to define training objectives, organisational priorities and compliance requirements while AI agents handle operational workflows.

These capabilities include content curation, identifying and addressing skills gaps, and adapting training delivery to different audiences and locations.

The company developed the platform through a multi-year research and development programme focused on reducing the administrative work involved in managing enterprise learning.

LearnUpon’s customers include Waymo, Wayve and World Rugby, which use its technology to deliver learning programmes across their organisations and external networks.

“We believe the real winner in the AI era won’t just be the fastest technology, but the organisations that best unlock human potential,” said Brendan Noud, CEO and Co-founder of LearnUpon. “This $50M facility fuels our vision to pioneer agentic learning. It gives us the financial strength to innovate aggressively, scale rapidly, and define the future of enterprise learning.”

Supporting International Expansion and Acquisitions

LearnUpon plans to use the $50 million financing facility to accelerate development of its Agentic Learning Platform and expand its international presence.

The capital will also support potential acquisitions as the company pursues both organic growth and expansion through acquisitions.

Claret Capital Partners provides growth financing to technology and other businesses, offering an alternative to equity funding.

According to Claret, the firm has invested more than €1.5 billion through its funds since 2013, supporting over 210 small and medium-sized enterprises across technology, life sciences and impact sectors.

“LearnUpon has built a strong, scaled business and is now moving quickly to capture the opportunity agentic AI is creating in corporate learning. We’re delighted to support the team as the company accelerates its organic and acquisition strategy.” said Philip Treacy, Vice President at Claret Capital Partners.

The financing gives LearnUpon additional capital to develop its AI learning technology and pursue expansion opportunities without issuing new equity.
