Modal is announcing the launch of the world's first Mastery Platform to deliver technical skills through cohort-based, hands-on learning and expert guidance to help employers and employees predictably develop critical skills. Modal is the only platform to bring together disparate modules including coaching, projects, live sessions, labs and video learning into a common experience to empower employees to achieve mastery in technical skills. With $6.7M raised from Signalfire, Norwest Venture Partners, Learn Capital, Bling Capital, multiple cohorts have completed Modal journeys with more than 87% of employees meeting learning objectives. Seeing the market demand for technical talent coupled with the struggle to develop internal talent, co-founders Darren Shimkus, previously President at Udemy for Business and Dennis Yang, former CEO of Udemy have built Modal to be a cohesive experience for social learning, with targeted goals and peer and instructor accountability.
