Go1 (YC S15) Wants to Make Compliance Training Suck Less

Definitely a step into the right direction. At my previous jobs I remember having to read through lengthy documents about compliance. Especially working in finance related companies, the insider trading rules are a real pain and involve so many different, difficult to remember scenarios. Can employees use these on the go or will companies set aside time for them to go through the documents at work?

We find a lot of the training gets completed on mobile or tablets. The best companies set aside time for employee training and one of the big motivations for adopting GO1 is reducing the time it takes and the frustration that their team experiences!

That TC article is overly optimistic. Very few corporate customers will upload TED videos for compliance training. Instead, they'll upload the same terrible death-by-powerpoint presentations, because of, well, compliance requirements. Well done on joining YC though!

Thanks Colleen! Hi HN, I'm one of the founders of GO1 - happy to answer any questions you might have!

Great stuff!

I work for one of the large mining company in AU, and doing compliance training sometimes is like pulling teeth. There are a lot of things that can be done to improve the experience and this seems to be heading into the right direction.

In my industry specifically, some of the stuff we need to be able to do:

- link compliance to operational sites (i.e. site-specific induction)

- link compliance to specific (pre-determined) roles

- remind users to refresh their compliance training (e.g. retake every 12 months)

- courses needs to be easy to edit and amend (seems you already have this sorted)

- most importantly, we need to be able to self-host it. We run remote sites with limited bandwidth (which makes video stream a challenge), so being able to do a mixed deployment (i.e. hosted for site personnel and remote / cloud for potential contractors will be a great help).

Thanks! And looks like the post's link is working now too

Your URL is broken because it has a space in front of it.

Also welcome to HN Colleen :)

it also seems to be missing a ":" after the protocol :)

Thanks for the note! Will see if it can be edited or repost

Rookie move, oy. Should be fixed now. Thanks Max :)
