What Teachbase does

Teachbase is a cloud-based corporate Learning Management System (LMS) headquartered in Moscow, Russia, founded circa 2009 (predecessor Webils launched by CEO Vladimir Shcherbakov in 2012). The platform enables mid-market and enterprise companies — typically with 50 to 10,000+ employees — to organize and automate learning for employees, partners, franchisees, and customers. The platform comprises modular components including a drag-and-drop course constructor, iOS/Android mobile applications with offline mode (4.7-star rating, 5,500+ reviews), analytics dashboards, automation engine, master-account multi-network management, career tracks, 360-degree assessment, and an embeddable white-label player. In 2025 the company added AI-powered features (AI Methodologist, AI Mentor, Chat Assistant) currently in early access. The platform integrates with 1C, Microsoft Active Directory, and HR systems via open API, and holds ISO27001 certification with servers and data residency located in Russia, qualifying it for the Russian Software Registry and import-substitution procurement by state-owned enterprises.

The company operates a multi-tier SaaS subscription model denominated in Russian Rubles: a free 14-day trial tier (up to 10 active users), an Optimal tier (from 144,670 RUB/year for 50+ users) and an Advanced tier with custom pricing for 500+ active users and large multi-branch deployments. A distinctive commercial mechanism charges only 'active users' (learners spending more than 5 minutes on courses per day), reducing overage friction. Supplemental revenue comes from professional services (custom course development, turnkey portal deployment, audit and consulting) and licensing of a ready-made course library. Go-to-market blends product-led entry (free trial, self-serve signup) with enterprise field sales targeting retail chains, franchises, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, tourism, and government — including named clients such as VTB, Yandex, Yandex Eda, RUSAL, Magnit, Gazprom ONUTC, SIBUR, 2GIS, and FUN&SUN. To date the company has accumulated 400+ enterprise clients and 5M+ cumulative users trained, with 20+ industry awards since 2016. Funding history is limited to a combined $288,000 seed round in 2012; Teachbase is founder-financed and operates as a Russian LLC (OOO Internet Shkola) with a lean 11-50 employee headcount.
