Cognota broadens corporate learning platform with Learnexus acquisition

Toronto’s Cognota has acquired New York City-based Learnexus , another startup developing learning and development (L&D) technology for large enterprises. Neither company shared the financial terms of the transaction, which closed earlier this month. Cognota founder and CEO Ryan Austin said the deal expedites the startup’s plans to help large enterprises not only manage their internal learning  efforts, ranging from skills to leadership training, but also facilitate them.
