About Classera

Classera is an education technology company that sells a cloud learning platform to schools, universities, ministries of education and corporate training departments. Its website describes a Learning Super Platform that extends from a learning management system into school administration software, payments and a marketplace. The site lists a San Francisco address, while a May 2026 announcement placed its headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The company was founded in 2011 by Mohammad Almadani and Mohammad Alashmawi, according to a Wamda article on its 2022 funding, although a 2024 Wamda article gives 2012. Almadani is chief executive and was described as founder and chairman in March 2024. In 2020 Arab News reported that Classera worked with more than 30 countries and had over 10 million users. Classera's site now cites more than 30 million users, more than 45 countries and more than 200 partners, undated.

The product list on the site includes Classera LMS, Classlight, Leadxera for corporate training, C-Pay, C-Inspire, C-Reality, C-Kids, C-Iqraa and Classera Accreditation. It names Microsoft, Zoom, AWS, HP, Udemy, Intel and BenQ as technology partners, and customers quoted on the site include Ataa Educational Group, Andalus Group, Riyadh Najd Schools and Umniah in Jordan. A February 2024 news item on the site reports a partnership with the Ministry of Education of Thailand.

Classera launched a Smarter Schools initiative in Egypt in September 2023, per GESS Education. In March 2024 it announced the acquisition of Expert Solutions for Information Technology, a Saudi provider of ERP systems for education, at LEAP 2024 in Riyadh, for an undisclosed price. In May 2026 it signed a strategic agreement with Zain KSA to bring AI and connected devices to Saudi education, in the presence of the Saudi communications minister.

In October 2022 Classera raised USD 40 million in a Series A led by Sanabil Investments, a wholly owned company of the Public Investment Fund, with Global Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst, 500 Global, Sukna Venture and Seedra Ventures participating. Wamda said the money would fund platform development, corporate e-learning and regional expansion. No financial results were found.
