Leading Learning Platform Recognized in 2025 List of the Most Transformational Growth Companies in Digital Learning and Workforce Skills
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Dec. 12, 2024 — NovoEd, the leading learning platform for global workforce transformation, is pleased to announce its recognition in the 2025 GSV 150. This highly anticipated annual list highlights innovative technology companies that are at the forefront of digital learning and workforce development. This honor marks NovoEd’s fourth inclusion in a row in this prestigious industry compilation.
To select the GSV 150, the organization’s team evaluated 2,500+ global companies across five key factors: revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile. The 2025 cohort of the GSV 150 collectively reaches 3 billion learners and generates more than $25B in annual revenue. These companies are continuously innovating and evolving to maximize the impact of the education they power, incorporating technology to improve educational access and quality around the globe.
“With the introduction of NovoAI in 2024 NovoEd is able to provide a suite of proprietary artificial intelligence tools designed to deliver global learning experiences at scale while putting people front and center,” said CEO and Chairman of the Board Scott Kinney. “This dynamic addition to our collaborative cohort learning platform demonstrates our commitment to empowering our client community to provide transformational learning initiatives. We’re grateful to be recognized by GSV for this work alongside the world’s most influential edtech companies.”
“The rapid rise of generative AI is fueling knowledge and creating opportunities we had not imagined before,” says Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures. “Multi-modality is making education more engaging, AI tools are driving personalization and productivity, and learning is happening at the speed of light. Effectively everyone across the 2025 GSV 150 has generative AI deeply embedded in their offering.”
Of the 2025 GSV 150, 58% are based in the US; 15% are Europe-based; 11% are India-based; 4% are based in Canada; and, notably, after two years’ absence, Chinese EdTech companies are back on the list. A meaningful shift towards profitability is evident throughout, with the estimated EBITDA score of the 2025 cohort up 21% versus last year.
