Founded in Jakarta in 2020, Getdera has grown from a boutique consulting firm into Southeast Asia's most comprehensive corporate learning platform. Here's how we got here — and where we're going.
We believe talent inequality — the gap between what employees know and what modern business demands — is the single greatest threat to organizational competitiveness. Getdera exists to close that gap.
By combining the scale of online learning with the precision of bespoke consulting, we help companies in every sector build the capability they need to compete, adapt, and thrive — not just survive market shifts, but lead them.
Every decision is measured against one question: does this generate better outcomes for our clients?
Our curriculum and consulting frameworks are grounded in peer-reviewed research and market data.
Bilingual platform, flexible pricing, and mobile-first access — so no organization is left behind.
Markets don't wait. Neither do we. Our content is updated quarterly to reflect the latest industry realities.
Three ex-McKinsey consultants start Getdera as a boutique strategy consulting firm. First 12 clients onboarded in Q1.
Launched the Getdera Learning Platform with 30 initial courses. Reached 1,000 learners within the first quarter. Series A funding secured ($3.5M).
Expanded operations to Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Launched full Bahasa Indonesia localization. Crossed 5,000 active learners.
Launched dedicated Enterprise tier with custom LMS, white-label programs, and ROI dashboards. 200+ corporate clients in 12 months. Series B ($12M) closed.
Platform now hosts 120+ courses. Serving 500+ B2B clients. Launching AI-powered personalized learning paths in Q2 2025.
Our leadership team has collectively built and scaled 14+ businesses across Southeast Asia, bringing hard-won operational wisdom to everything we do.
