Hone Raises $30 Million Series B Round to Democratize Executive-Quality Training

“Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the shift to hybrid work is moving the massive market for corporate learning, development, and training online,” said Anton Zietsman, Partner at 3L Capital. “With its focus on live, virtual, and small-group classes facilitated by world-class coaches, Hone is well positioned to take share from legacy vendors who have built their businesses on in-person programs. Recognizing that talent development is an essential component of a strategy to retain the best performers and attract new employees, Hone has invested nearly $10 million in content production, creating one of the world’s largest libraries of live interactive classes across all facets of people skills training. The funds will be used to expand Hone’s platform to deliver more impactful learning experiences, help learners to apply their training day-to-day, bolster measurement of outcomes and ROI, and empower admins with more powerful and flexible tooling. By delivering live learning at scale in people skills areas like effective management, leadership, and DEIB, we enable behavior change, human connection, and continuous development.
