Whether you need an LMS platform or an AI-powered learning app, we design and build scalable edtech software. Backed by 15+ years of experience in learning systems, SCORM, and integrations.
TRUSTED BY EDTECH COMPANIES AND TRAINING PROVIDERS
There’s a better way to build edtech products. One that combines speed, flexibility, and deep domain expertise from the start.
If your unique learning and business processes are not covered by at least 50% with off-the-shelf solutions, you can’t extend features properly or adapt the platform to how your users learn, buy, or interact.
We build custom learning platforms and features tailored to your product, learners and business.
They can build software. But very few understand SCORM, xAPI, learning paths, compliance, integrations. Without that expertise, projects take longer, cost more, and often need to be rebuilt.
We bring 15+ years of experience in LMS and edtech systems so your platform is built right from the start.
Your product needs to connect to CRM, HR systems payments, analytics, content providers. Without these integrations, you rely on manual work, broken automation, or fragile tools.
We design and build API-first integrations that automate your workflows end-to-end: Workday, Rippling, iMIS, Power BI, whatever.
What worked at 500 users breaks at 5,000. What You start dealing with performance issues, messy data, and limitations you can’t fix.
We design scalable architectures so your product grows without breaking.
“The talent and expertise of their staff are outstanding. When issues arise, their team is responsive and quick.”
Education platforms share the same core building blocks (user management, content delivery, progress tracking, integrations, analytics). We don’t build these from scratch every time. We use proven components and focus your budget on what makes your product different.Get your edtech platform scoped

We help edtech companies launch new products, extend existing platforms, and add critical capabilities.
Edtech looks like a software project until you're inside it. Generalist agencies find this out on your timeline and budget.
Good for isolated tasks, risky for a full product. No single freelancer covers design, architecture, edtech standards, and delivery management
Viable long-term, expensive to get started. Great if you have 6 months to hire and another 3 months to onboard. Most products can't wait that long.
30 minutes to understand your project.
We define how learning happens in your product across users, content, and system logic.
We design the data model, APIs, learning flows, and integration architecture, including support for standards, user roles, and reporting requirements.
We turn the design into a working edtech product, with learning flows, integrations, and role-based experiences, validated in real scenarios before release.
We deploy to your infrastructure or cloud of choice and prepare your product for users.
We stay with you as your business grows.

Every edtech product is different, so pricing is based on a defined scope and aligned with your business model, features, and integrations.
You get a defined scope, timeline, and cost before development starts.
We prioritize core features first, so you can launch faster and control upfront investment.
After launch, you can extend your platform with additional features at your own pace.
Yes, edtech products often require multiple roles like learners, instructors, admins, and managers. We design role-based access and interfaces, so each user sees the right data, actions, and workflows without unnecessary complexity.
It depends on the scope, but most projects follow a predictable path. A module or feature development takes 4–8 weeks. An MVP is 6–10 weeks. A full product development takes 6+ months. We give you a fixed timeline during discovery, before any build work begins.
Generalist agencies learn edtech on your budget. By the time they understand SCORM and CPD compliance, the timeline has doubled, and the architecture needs revisiting. We’ve built 500+ projects, so we know how to handle the standards, integrations, and architecture your project requires.
You do. The codebase, the data, and the infrastructure are yours. We have no access to your product after delivery unless you invite us back in. Most clients do (through an ongoing support retainer), but that’s entirely your choice.
Yes, and that’s often the right answer. If your core product works but you need SCORM support, LTI integration, CPD compliance, or a specific system integration added to it, a targeted build is faster and cheaper than starting over. We define the scope upfront, so you know what to expect.
We implement SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, and LTI across edtech products, along with standards for integrations and infrastructure, like OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect (authentication) and WCAG (accessibility). These cover content delivery, learning activity tracking, system integrations, and compliance requirements, so your product works reliably with external tools and enterprise environments from day one.
