What academya does

Academya is a privately held B2B corporate training company founded in 2023 and headquartered in the Etiler district of Istanbul, Türkiye. The company delivers blended-learning programs to enterprise clients in Turkey, combining instructor-led face-to-face and virtual training sessions with an e-learning content layer and a proprietary mobile application for post-training reinforcement. Its core catalog spans more than thirty courses covering leadership, management, communication, negotiation, sales, change management and psychological safety, designed around interactive exercises and real-world business cases rather than passive knowledge transfer.

The underlying technology stack consists of the CrossKnowledge Learning Management System (LMS) integrated for content delivery and AI-personalized learning flows, plus an in-house mobile and web platform for tracking participant knowledge levels and learning performance. Knowledge retention is addressed through a spaced-repetition methodology grounded in Hermann Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve, with documented case-study results of a 40% knowledge-level uplift within 45 days; tracking is available at individual, departmental and regional levels for L&D administrators.

Academya monetizes through two streams: corporate training programs sold via direct enterprise sales (professional services engagement model) and e-learning content distributed as a CrossKnowledge content partner in the Turkish market (recurring subscription layer). The company operates with eight employees, is inspired by and draws on the experience of K2C, Turkey's leading blended-learning company, and serves a single domestic market with no disclosed international expansion, institutional funding, or named enterprise customers.
