PART.01
About Udemy

Udemy is a brand under Udemy, Inc., a global online learning and teaching platform focused on enterprise learning and professional education. Website: www.udemy.com.

In May 2010, Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani co-founded Udemy—meaning "Your Academy"—a platform where instructors can upload courses and learners can study online.

In June 2015, Udemy pivoted from a pure consumer (C2C) model to a B2B model with the launch of Udemy Business, breaking into enterprise, government, and educational institution markets, and officially entering the Japanese market.

In February 2020, Udemy raised $50 million from its long-term Japanese partner Benesse Holdings, Inc., at a valuation of approximately $2 billion.

In November 2020, Udemy raised another $50 million at a $3.25 billion valuation, led by Tencent Holdings.

On October 29, 2021, Udemy went public on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol UDMY.

In 2022, Udemy entered into an exclusive strategic partnership with Sanjieke (三节课), a Chinese digital talent training provider, to enter China's B2B training market. The platform now offers over 10,000 courses in China, including more than 1,000 courses taught by Chinese-language instructors.



PART.02
About Udemy Business

Udemy Business (business.udemy.com) is Udemy's enterprise learning platform, offering course subscriptions on a company-wide basis.

In the enterprise online training market across major global economies, Udemy Business is the most recognized provider. Over 14,900 companies worldwide have subscribed to Udemy Business courses for their employees.

Once a company subscribes to Udemy Business, employees can freely enroll in any course with no limits on course count—only actual time spent on enrolled courses is tracked.


PART.03
How Difficult Is It to Get Into the Udemy Business Program?

To be selected for the Udemy Business program, a course must first be accepted into Udemy's consumer (ToC) course library. Udemy hasn't published the official acceptance rate, but based on the evaluation process our CD coach went through, it's far more stringent than any domestic Chinese platform—especially when it comes to compliance requirements, which are extremely difficult to pass.

From there, the Udemy Business team selects courses from the entire ToC catalog using a highly complex methodology—one of their own partners admitted: "Even after years of collaboration, we still can't figure out the exact selection criteria." It's not just about course quality and instructor expertise; they also weigh trial learner reviews, paid learner reviews, novelty, alignment with Udemy Business's strategic roadmap, and even the subjective impressions of their evaluation team.

Just how hard is it? According to current official data, Udemy's ToC catalog contains over 210,000 courses, while Udemy Business offers only about 24,000—an acceptance rate of roughly 14%!

What's more: as a global platform dominated by English-language content, getting Chinese-language courses accepted is even harder. The few Chinese courses that do make it in are mostly trial courses uploaded by their Chinese partner Sanj
