Adepto
Acquired by Degreed, a US-based learning experience platform, in 2019. Capita Scaling Partner partnered with Adepto in 2018. After signing up Capita as a flagship client, we helped the founding team successfully grow the platform, facilitating valuable introductions to high profile customers and partners in the UK and overseas. Alongside this, we supported Adepto through a significant funding round in 2019 and their exit to Degreed in 2020.
