Our Investment in Masterplan

Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC) is proud to announce our recent investment in Masterplan, a German company developing an innovative learning platform designed to help companies make employee training easier and more effective.

While workplace training can often feel like just a box that needs to be checked off, the Masterplan platform turns continuous education into an engaging, personalized, and rewarding experience. The learning platform features a growing library of over 2,000 lessons, spanning topics like leadership skills, remote work communication, data protection, occupational safety, and digital transformation. Each lesson combines curated content taught by industry experts with personalized recommendations and a cinematic-level production quality developed using the company’s in-house production studio, resulting in an engaging learning experience that feels more like Netflix than mandatory training.

Designed to be accessible to all types of teams, Masterplan features a mix of technical, digital-first courses and content built around the needs of offline, ‘blue-collar’ workers, an often-underserved group when it comes to online learning. Guided by the belief that an email should not be a requirement for learning, the inclusive platform enables users without an active email address to log-in using a unique identification code, ensuring that no one is left out.

Masterplan also enables customers to build company-specific content, adjust existing courses, and define specific courses as mandatory to create individualized learning paths. Companies can track a team’s progress with custom reports and leverage social learning and gamification elements, like rankings and interactive quizzes, to help motivate and reward employees.

The company currently works with over 300 customers, from startups to large corporations like Volkswagen, Domino's, Beiersdorf, DZ Bank, and the Otto Group. While the company’s 100+ employees are primarily based out of its Berlin and Düsseldorf offices, the platform is designed as a global solution with support for 10 languages as of September 2023.

In addition to the company’s content quality and growing customer roster, Masterplan benefits from an experienced management team led by founder and CEO Stefan Peukert, who successfully sold his previous company in 2015. We’re excited to partner with Stefan and the rest of the team as Masterplan navigates their next chapter.
