Founded in 2021 by Yotam Segev (CEO) and Tamar Bar-Ilan (CTO); the company self-described as the fastest-growing data security company in history.

About
Degreed was founded in 2012 with the vision that learning should be continuous, skills-based, and connected across formal education, on-the-job experience, and self-directed development. The company built a learning experience platform (LXP) that aggregates content from thousands of providers — including LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, YouTube, internal systems, and podcasts — into a single interface that employees use to upskill throughout their careers. Degreed's core innovation was creating a common language for skills, enabling organizations to map employee capabilities to role requirements and identify development gaps at scale.\n\nDegreed's platform serves large enterprises and Fortune 500 companies, functioning as the connective layer between HR systems, content libraries, and business skills strategies. Its AI-powered skill mapping identifies employee strengths and gaps from activity data, then surfaces personalized learning recommendations aligned to career goals or business priorities. The platform is introducing AI role-playing simulations and SAP Joule integration in 2026, deepening its footprint in enterprise workflow automation and skills-based talent management. Degreed partners with major content providers and HRIS vendors including Workday, SAP, and Cornerstone to embed learning intelligence across enterprise talent operations.\n\nDegreed has raised $437 million in total through its Series D, with investors including Owl Ventures, Jump Capital, and others who see skills-based talent management as a major enterprise software category. The platform serves millions of employees globally at organizations including Unilever, Visa, Bank of America, and Walmart. As AI reshapes job roles faster than traditional training cycles can respond, Degreed's infrastructure for continuous, skills-mapped learning positions it as essential infrastructure for enterprise workforce transformation.
