Yoodli Named 2026 Inc. Power Partner for Helping Enterprise Teams Build Skills That Show Up on the Job

Recognition follows a year in which Yoodli customers including Google and Intuit earned 11 Brandon Hall Group awards for programs built on Yoodli

SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoodli, the AI Platform for Human Skills, has been named a winner of the 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards, which recognize the B2B companies that entrepreneurs and businesses rely on to grow.

Inc. selected this year's honorees for a proven track record of helping companies build and scale, across areas from hiring and compliance to technology, fundraising, and marketing.

"Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "The companies on this year's Power Partners list have done just that. They don't just have customers, they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they've proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed."

"The best validation we get isn't an award for Yoodli. It's watching our customers' teams get recognized for the work they do with us," said Varun Puri, co-founder and CEO of Yoodli. "Organizations are under real pressure to get their people ready for an AI-first world, and practice alone doesn't get them there. Our job is to help skills carry over into the moments that matter, and to show leaders the results."

"Being a Power Partner means our customers' results are the scoreboard," said Mike Rich, head of partnerships at Yoodli. "We work alongside training firms, consultancies, and enablement leaders who build skills programs for their own clients. Together we create immersive training experiences and demonstrate measurable outcomes."

"Every training company says their program works. The hard part is proving it," said Jeff Bittner, senior director of digital and AI at Braintrust and a member of Yoodli's Customer Advisory Board. "In two and a half years with Yoodli, we've mastered it. Every seller starts with a baseline and a personal record to beat, allowing us to coach the cause instead of the symptom. We've seen enterprise clients with hundreds of users adopt at 96%, and others increase their connection level from 22% to 67% in three months. That's what a real partner does. We make our clients better by providing tools that move the needle."

Yoodli was recognized for the measurable outcomes its customers have achieved in 2026. Google's GBOedu Commercial Enablement team won seven awards at the 2026 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards (three gold, three silver, one bronze) for scaling AI roleplay practice across its sellers with Yoodli. Intuit's Global Sales Enablement team earned four Brandon Hall Group awards for programs powered by Yoodli, including gold in Learning & Development Strategy and in Leadership Development.

The company also reached several milestones this year. Yoodli was named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 in the Education category and to LinkedIn's 2026 Top Startups list for Seattle. It grew past 100 employees and moved into a new headquarters at Pier 70 on the Seattle waterfront. Organizations including Google, Snowflake, Databricks, and Intuit use Yoodli to coach, train, and measure skills across their workforce.
