OREM, Utah, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GoReact, the leading video-based skills training platform, today announced the close of a $4 million growth investment, led by Five Elms Capital in partnership with several new investors.
For the past six years, GoReact has provided educators with a platform to personalize skill coaching for students.

The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate product development and expand into new verticals where skill coaching is needed.
"We're thrilled with the confidence of both existing and new investors in GoReact's growth and compelling story," said Ken Meyers, founder and CEO of GoReact.

The new funding closes out a stellar 2018 for the company, which included announcements of major partnerships with Macmillan Learning and McGraw-Hill Education, reaching a milestone of deployments in more than 500 university campuses, and being named the 4th-fastest growing company in Utah.
