LearnUpon has secured access to a $50 million (approximately €42 million) growth financing facility in partnership with Claret Capital Partners. The Dublin-based learning platform will use the non-dilutive capital to fund product development, grow its international presence and support acquisitions as it builds out its agentic AI offering.

LearnUpon was founded in 2012 by Brendan Noud and Des Anderson, and its cloud-based platform is used to train employees, customers, partners and member networks. Customers named in the announcement include Waymo, Wayve and World Rugby, and the facility supports an ongoing strategy of organic investment and acquisition.

The structural driver is the administrative overhead of running learning programmes, which has historically pushed teams into manual maintenance rather than strategic work. LearnUpon says its multi-year R&D programme has produced an agentic architecture in which learning teams and executives set business goals and compliance guardrails, while AI agents handle administrative workflows, content curation, skill gap closing and localised delivery.

“We believe the real winner in the AI era won’t just be the fastest technology, but the organizations 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.”

Philip Treacy, Vice President at Claret Capital Partners, said: “LearnUpon has built a strong, scaled business and is now moving quickly to capture the opportunity agentic AI is creating in corporate learning.”

The facility follows a $56 million (approximately €47 million) growth equity investment from Summit Partners in 2020, which was earmarked for engineering and product hires and market expansion. LearnUpon employed 180 people across offices in Dublin, Philadelphia, Sydney and Belgrade at that time, and the US accounted for 70% of its sales.

For the sector, the financing reflects investors backing learning platforms that use AI agents to take on administrative work, as enterprises look to turn AI investment into measurable workforce and customer capability.
