Sales readiness and training platform with scalable content creation, readiness scorecards, and certifications. Now part of the Showpad-Bigtincan revenue enablement entity under Vector Capital.
Brainshark is a sales readiness and training platform originally founded in 1999 and headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company was acquired by Bigtincan in 2021 and became part of the combined Showpad-Bigtincan revenue enablement platform following the October 2025 merger under Vector Capital. Brainshark is recognized for its scalable content creation tools, sales readiness scorecards, and structured certification workflows.\n\nBrainshark's core capabilities include video-based training content authoring (narrated slide decks and microlearning modules), formal curriculum design, readiness assessments and knowledge checks, coaching submissions where reps record practice pitches for manager review, and readiness scorecards that give sales leaders a real-time view of team certification status. The platform is particularly well-suited for large enterprise rollouts, compliance training, and onboarding programs where organizations need to certify thousands of reps on product knowledge, messaging, and process adherence.\n\nWithin the combined Showpad entity, Brainshark contributes the readiness and training layer, complementing Showpad's content management and Bigtincan's digital sales room capabilities. The combined platform creates an end-to-end revenue enablement stack from content management through training certification and buyer engagement. Brainshark's integrations include Salesforce, Microsoft SharePoint, and major SCORM-compliant LMS environments.
Adept AI raised $415M to pioneer computer-use AI agents; its core research and agent team moved to Amazon in 2024 in a landmark talent acquisition while the company continues developing ACT-1 for enterprise automation.
Adept AI was founded in 2022 by a team of former OpenAI, DeepMind, and Google Brain researchers to build AI that can take actions on computers — navigating software interfaces, filling forms, and executing multi-step workflows in any application. Its ACT-1 model demonstrated the ability to control web browsers and desktop applications through natural language instructions, pioneering the computer-use agent paradigm that Anthropic later commercialized with Claude's computer use feature.
