Ubits is a Colombian corporate learning platform that provides online courses for large corporations in Latin America. UBits currently has over 10,000 enrolled students and more than 200 e-courses available online.

More than 80,000 professionals at 70 companies across Latin America have been able to develop their skills through the platform, which offers a reduced training cost of 40% for enrolled companies. 

The online platform offers e-learning courses called ‘Bits’, specifically designed for rapid learning. Courses include marketing strategies, sales, and customer services, such as client communication and improving the user experience.

We’re excited to invest to support UBits founders Marta Forero and Julian Melo.

Leading UBits, Marta Forero was the only Latina woman in her Y Combinator cohort, and still one of very few to have participated. She continues to break barriers for women in the LatAm tech industry through the success of UBits, both in Y Combinator and in the company’s rapid expansion through Peru, Chile, and Mexico.
