Pluralsight’s commitment to the Pledge 1% movement and our vision for the future of business

As a global community, we have faced unprecedented challenges and this year has introduced a whole new level of complexity and need. Through these challenges, I am inspired by people and organizations everywhere who are coming together to demonstrate innovation and bold action in the face of challenge. If you are a founder or company looking to integrate impact more deeply into your work, I encourage you to join the Pledge 1% movement and become part of a community committed to a future of business that has impact embedded at its core.  

As a Pledge 1% member, Pluralsight has pledged equity, product, time, and profit to accelerate our mission to democratize technology skills. Pledging equity ensures we have dedicated funds for our social investments and enables us to build for a legacy of impact that will last long into the future.

Through our Pledge 1% commitment, we built our social enterprise Pluralsight One to activate our technology to help ensure nonprofits and K-12 entities can build the technology skills they need to advance their missions while creating access to technology skills development resources for the communities they support. We envision a world in which everyone can harness the skills they need to chart their own futures. 

Since its inception in 2017, Pluralsight One has directly impacted more than 20K learners across 17 countries and has grown its community to more than 600 nonprofits, NGOs and K-12 organizations. Pluralsight One also holds multi-year partnerships with world-class national and international nonprofits such as the Norwegian Refugee Council, Malala Fund, Code.org and Year Up who receive cash and product-based investments as well as tech strategy support to accelerate their technology strategies, advance their missions and skill up their staff and beneficiaries. 

Pledge 1% is a growing movement and is becoming the new normal for late-stage companies. It allows companies to step up and take action now, even if you don’t have cash or profit to spare. And it’s never been easier. In fact, I’m thrilled to share that Pledge 1% has published a comprehensive CEO Equity Playbook, which includes best practices, templates, tools, and everything you need to take the pledge today.

Today’s issues will not be solved by governments or nonprofits alone. By pledging a portion of your company’s equity, product, time, and profit today, you can ensure that you will have a real and lasting impact tomorrow. Join us to shape a new future of business.
