GeoLearning, Inc., the leading provider of Managed Learning Services and on-demand learning and performance platforms, today announced that it has secured a growth equity investment of $31 million from Fidelity Ventures. The funds, which represent the first institutional investment for GeoLearning, will be utilized to accelerate the company’s sales and marketing efforts, continue to build its international presence and channel partner network, and potential acquisitions.
