Knowledge Factor (Amplifire)
Knowledge Factor, Inc., doing business as Amplifire, is a Boulder, Colorado adaptive eLearning company founded in 2000 by Charles Smith. Amplifire's platform uses cognitive and learning science to assess learner knowledge, identify "confidently held misinformation," and build personalized paths to mastery, primarily for high-stakes workforce training in healthcare, education, and corporate settings. The company operated for two decades as a largely bootstrapped, customer-funded business (over 3 billion learner interactions to date) before becoming a portfolio company of Leeds Equity Partners and, in July 2022, taking a strategic growth investment from Polaris Growth Fund alongside several of its own healthcare-system customers.
