WorkRamp

WorkRamp is an enterprise learning company that sells a learning management system used for employee training, customer education and partner enablement. Its platform supports video, interactive content, assessments, live training and certifications, covering onboarding, compliance, ongoing learning and development, go-to-market and partner enablement, and customer education. Historically the product was organized into an Employee Learning Cloud (employee LMS) and a Customer Learning Cloud (customer and partner LMS), each documented in the company's help center alongside AI Simulations and a Product Academy.

The consumer-facing brand has been restructured: the core LMS is marketed as Learn:Up (formerly WorkRamp), with adjacent modules sold separately as Perform (formerly Confirm) for performance and engagement insight, Academy (formerly WorkRamp) for branded customer and partner learning academies, Practice (formerly AI Simulations) for AI role-play, Create (formerly Elucidat) for authoring, plus an off-the-shelf course Library and custom program services. The company frames these products around a "Talent Flywheel" of Learn, Engage and Perform engines.

WorkRamp also runs WorkRamp.org, a social-impact arm pledging 1% of the company's time, product and profits. It donates or discounts the learning platform and provides instructional design resources to nonprofits, and has worked with Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School, Hayward Collegiate and the Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco.

Founding story

WorkRamp was co-founded by Ted Blosser (CEO) and Arsh Mand (CTO/COO), who remain listed as its founders, and the company went through Y Combinator in Summer 2016.

Business model

Business-to-business software-as-a-service. The platform is sold as a core LMS with additional modules purchased separately, and buyers are directed to request quotes or book demos rather than self-serve.

Per-user subscription pricing billed annually. Published starting prices, based on a 200-person company, are $9 per user per month for Learn:Up, $8 for Perform and $4 for Practice; Academy, Create, Library and custom programs are quoted separately.

Traction

Y Combinator lists a team size of 106. Customers cited include Box, Outreach, Reddit, Zoom, Workiva, Zappi and Sprout Social; Zappi's head of global revenue enablement credits the platform with supporting a sixfold increase in hiring in 2021 versus 2020, and Sprout Social's sales enablement manager reports an implementation completed in one month against an expected nine-month timeline.

Latest developments

The company's site now markets the LMS under the Learn:Up brand with a modular product line that includes Perform, Academy, Practice, Create and a course Library, and its help center publishes monthly product roundups and documentation for AI Simulations.
