Arist, whose microlearning platform is used by Fortune 500 employers to meet their learners where they are, by delivering engaging learning content through messaging tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, today announced that it has raised $12 million in a Series A funding round led by pioneering growth-stage business software investor PeakSpan Capital, accompanied by Rainfall Ventures.

Arist first launched its text-based training programs in 2018, as a way to provide learning opportunities in war zones where internet was limited. As of today, over 100,000 courses have been delivered to over 1,000 leading NGOs, governments, and companies, including over 10 percent of the Fortune 500.
