Key Findings & Highlights:

Cornerstone, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, is an adaptive HCM software provider.

Cornerstone was formed in 1999 under the name CyberU and operated as a provider of online corporate training and education. Its offering evolved through client and market demand, and it pivoted toward talent management and learning solutions.

In April 2020, Cornerstone acquired learning management and talent experience platform provider Saba Software, Inc. At acquisition, the combined company represented >$800m in revenues and supported ~6k clients and ~75m users globally.

Although Cornerstone has primarily developed its HCM technology organically, it has accelerated its innovation through select acquisitions over the years; recent notable examples include:

  • Saba Software (2020): learning and talent experience technology
  • Clustree (2020): AI-enabled skills platform
  • Grovo (2018): micro-learning and learning content
  • Evolv (2014): machine learning and data science platform.

In August 2021, Cornerstone agreed to be acquired by private equity firm Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. The deal valued Cornerstone at $5.2bn and was completed in October 2021.

Cornerstone positions its product offering as comprehensive 'people development solutions,' enabled through its proprietary technology.

Cornerstone's HCM technology suite is cloud-native, built on a single database and code-line, mobile-first by design, and hosted on a public cloud infrastructure.  The platform offers a modular design and requires no minimum modules to be adopted.

Cornerstone's offering is globally focused, and although it has historically been targeted to the middle and large enterprise client, it is increasingly targeting clients below 1k and segments its client base as follows:

  • Small market segment: <1k employees
  • Enterprise/Upmarket: >1k employees.
