The story behind Arist
Meet Arist: a better way to
learn, train, and shift behavior
Arist started as a way to deliver learning in conflict zones
A few years ago, we started Arist with a simple mission: delivering entrepreneurship courses to high school students in the Yemeni conflict zone.
Unfortunately, internet and laptop access was limited. However, almost everyone had access to a phone and text messages. Hence, the text message course.
When we invented message-based learning in 2018, we quickly realized that we had developed an entirely new (and better) way to learn and shift behavior — one that was far more accessible.
Today, Arist powers
the Fortune 500
Since 2018, we've delivered millions of courses and behavioral pathways to students, frontline employees, and managers alike.
Today, Arist is used by the world's leading organizations to rapidly shift behavior, drive higher knowledge retention, and make critical knowledge accessible in moments of need — all in 1-click.
As part of our commitment to access, Arist partners with non-profits and other social-good organizations to deliver impactful learning at scale at a free or discounted rate, depending on need.
