HowNow, the modern learning platform designed to help today's workforce drive self-directed learning and develop business-critical skills, has now raised more than $3m in funding, following the close of its pre-series A funding round, led by Fuel Ventures. Founded by Nelson Sivalingam with co-founders Kuvera Sivalingam and Ashish Kumar in 2016, HowNow is an integrated learning platform that autonomously curates learning resources, business intelligence and market insights that live in dozens of different internal and external sources, and makes it available everywhere employees work. The AI-powered learning platform is used by SMEs and large Corporates to onboard, upskill and enable employees. The company's investors now include the likes of Mark Pearson (founder of MyVoucherCodes); Andy Murray OBE; Michael Whitfield and Chris Bruce (founders of Thomsons Online Benefits); Bernie Sinniah (former managing director at Citi Bank); and Alwin Magimay (a former partner at McKinsey). Using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, HowNow is able to personalise learning for employees based on their role, experience, learning preferences, skill requirements, business goals and their context.
