Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Learnerbly has established itself quickly as the ideal platform for organisations serious about employee value and career development.

Already working with some of the most exciting FinTech companies in the world such as Revolut and Curve, Learnerbly offers its customers personal learning budgets to empower them to choose how and what to learn.

There's a significant trend from more progressive companies towards employee value and recognition as well as personal development. We are still at the relatively early stages of this shift which should continue to grow as the long-term benefits of more capable and knowledgable employees is realised.

The global workplace learning industry is worth over $350billion. With the uncertainty over the global shift in recent years in the job market, employers are keen to retain and attract top talent. Having secured Series A funding led by venture capital firm Beringea and FJ Labs between 2021 and 2023, Learnerbly has high ambitions to accelerate company growth.

Company values

  • Always Grow: We are curious and continuously take ourselves out of our comfort zone to spark new ways to develop ourselves, and each other. We humbly respond to feedback and proactively share advice with others to reveal new insights and accelerate growth. We proactively share what we learn and seek the contrary opinion in the room to diversify perspectives.
  • Include Intentionally: We go the extra mile to include diverse perspectives in everything we do, to create an environment where everyone can belong. We deliberately default to trust and embrace everyone, to create a safe space to share our thoughts and make mistakes to learn from. We bring our best authentic selves to the party, to live more fulfilling lives.
  • Create Impact: We think big and bold, and use our resourcefulness to bring solutions to the table and achieve Learnerbly goals. We experiment and deliver fast, and take pride in the quality of our work to drive the best outcome for our user. We set boundaries and prioritise ruthlessly to protect our time, focus, and wellbeing, so we can perform sustainably.
  • Win Together: We are accountable to ourselves and each other, we communicate clearly and simply to drive alignment and enable action. We make the time to support others and are able to ask for help when it's needed to move forward as a team. We celebrate each other's successes because when we win, we win together. And if we don't win, we learn together.
