In this episode of Sidekick, David and Rhys go beyond the charts of Brighteye’s latest Learning and Work Report to unpack what the data is really telling us.

The key takeaway is not simply about funding going up or down. It points to a structural shift: learning is increasingly valued when it is embedded in systems and tied to tangible outcomes such as productivity, employability, compliance, or progression.The conversation explores the patterns that stood out across the data, the structural changes underway in the market, and the assumptions many founders are still holding onto for too long.

A practical discussion for founders building in learning and future of work who want to understand where real value (and capital) is flowing.
