Degreed Reviews

Degreed is an enterprise education technology company that provides an AI-powered learning experience platform (LXP) and workforce upskilling solution. Founded in March 2012 by David Blake, Eric Sharp, and David Wiley, the company was built on a mission to "jailbreak the degree" by shifting focus away from formal qualifications toward practical skills tracking and lifelong learning. Degreed pioneered the LXP category as a modern alternative to traditional learning management systems (LMS), aiming to liberate professional development from conventional corporate training models. The company is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, and maintains offices in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, New York, London, Amsterdam, and Brisbane. The core technology of Degreed is an integrated ecosystem designed to help organizations discover, share, and track diverse learning resources—such as courses, articles, videos, and podcasts—from both internal systems and external providers. The company’s flagship offerings include Degreed Learning, an LXP that curates personalized learning pathways; Skills+, which harmonizes and interprets enterprise data to identify operational skill gaps; and Degreed Maestro, an AI-powered learning assistant that delivers adaptive feedback and real-time guidance directly into an employee's workflow. Through structured collaborative modules called Degreed Academies, the platform aligns upskilling programs directly with business transformation goals. It serves millions of users across more than 500 corporate clients, including Fortune 50 firms and multinational organizations like Capgemini and Tata Communications. Financially, Degreed operates under a B2B subscription-based SaaS business model, transitioning from its initial consumer focus in 2015 to specialize in scalable enterprise solutions. To accelerate its product development and market expansion, the company has executed several strategic acquisitions, including content curation startup Gibbon in 2016, online learning provider Pathgather in 2018, total talent platform Adepto in 2019, and workforce upskilling platform Learn In in 2022. Following its Series D funding round, which secured $153 million, Degreed reached a valuation of $1.4 billion, having raised a total of $367 million from private venture capital investors. In January 2025, the company achieved financial profitability. Degreed is currently led by co-founder David Blake, who returned as Chief Executive Officer in 2022.
