Cahoot Learning

What Cahoot Learning does

Cahoot Learning (legal entity: CPD Live Pty Ltd) is an Australian workplace learning platform founded in 2006 by Anthony Morris and headquartered in Essendon, Victoria. The company delivers collaborative digital learning programs built on a social learning architecture, cohort-based design, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance, serving corporates, government agencies, universities, industry associations, and a growing base of coaches and learning entrepreneurs. Its product portfolio includes the Cahoot Learning Portal (the underlying platform) plus discrete program offerings: Graduate Plus (early-career development), L.I.F.T. (tiered leadership development), Momentum (always-on capability development), Live Events (scalable virtual sessions), and Bespoke Solutions (custom co-designed programs built on the proprietary 5D CapabilityArc process).

The underlying technology combines a social learning infrastructure (peer-to-peer collaboration, cohort management, discussion forums, community spaces) with real-time dashboards, behavioral metrics, and live event delivery supporting 50 to 10,000+ learners per program. The platform is certified by Education Alliance Finland at a 95% pedagogical quality score (OUTSTANDING) and holds ISO 27001 information security certification, making it eligible for Australian government procurement. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: bespoke enterprise learning programs (subscription/recurring), platform licensing for partner coaches and learning entrepreneurs (subscription/recurring with built-in payment processing), and live event services (professional services with optional paid event monetization). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing cadence on enterprise subscriptions.

The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (booked 30-minute demos via Outlook calendar integration) with channel partners and government procurement panel access. Named customers include the Australian Public Service Commission (1,200+ leaders engaged), Bunnings Australia, Austrade, MIT Professional Education, IPWEA (4,000+ participants across 60+ councils), and the Town of Vail. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and is led by CEO Craig Crowther (appointed 2020) alongside co-founder Anthony Morris and directors David O'Brien and Danny Wilson. Markets served include Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Degreed: Learning experience platform aggregating content, skills, and pathways for enterprises. Comparable on the L&D buyer persona and outcome-focused positioning, though at significantly larger scale.
• LearnDash: LMS used by creators, coaches, and organizations to deliver cohort-based courses with social/community features. Comparable to Cahoot's partner/coach enablement motion and cohort delivery.
• Thinkific: Platform for creators and businesses to build, market, and sell online courses and communities. Comparable on the cohort + community model for coaches and learning entrepreneurs, though more SMB-skewed.
• Docebo: Public, multi-hundred-million-ARR enterprise learning platform with a broad catalog and AI features. Competes head-on for enterprise L&D budgets and represents the scale benchmark Cahoot is up against.
• Cornerstone OnDemand: Large incumbent talent and learning suite used by global enterprises and government agencies. Comparable on enterprise/government buyer overlap, particularly where WCAG and security compliance matter.

Direct peers

• Disco: Cohort-based learning platform purpose-built for creators, coaches, and learning entrepreneurs to monetize branded programs. Directly comparable to Cahoot's partner/coach monetization model and Momentum-style always-on community layer.
• Workramp: All-in-one training platform for customer and employee education, with cohort learning and partner-program support. Comparable on cohort-based delivery and B2B upskilling focus.
• Coassemble: Australian-headquartered online training platform serving SMB and enterprise with course authoring and cohort delivery. Directly comparable as a regional peer competing in the same geography and overlapping customer base.
• 360Learning: Collaborative, cohort-based learning platform with strong social/peer-learning DNA and a focus on upskilling in mid-market and enterprise. Closest functional analog to Cahoot's social learning model and Dynamic Cohort architecture.

Emerging players

• Sana: AI-native learning and knowledge platform with personalized, generative-AI-driven experiences. Adjacent emerging player whose AI-first approach could reset enterprise buyer expectations Cahoot must match.
