About Kurios
Built by people who've worked inside the ops learning problem.
Founded in Denver in 2022. Carlos Lau and the founding team came from enterprise L&D and HR-tech deployments at large operators — the people who ran LMS evaluations that took nine months and launched generic content catalogs nobody used.

Before founding Kurios, Carlos spent eight years on the L&D and HR-technology side of large operators. His last role before starting the company was Director of Learning Technology at a 3,200-person regional logistics operator based in the Mountain West — where he ran three successive LMS evaluations over four years. Each one produced a 9–12 month migration project, a generic content library, and a completion rate below 40% at 60 days post-launch.
The problem wasn't the content. It was that the LMS assigned by department, not by job family — and completion data never left the system. Managers couldn't see it. Workday didn't know about it. OSHA audits required manual exports. In late 2021, Carlos started scoping what a purpose-built ops learning layer would look like: role-mapped assignment, xAPI-native completion records, and Workday sync from day one. He returned to Denver in early 2022 and co-founded Kurios with that spec as the product brief.
Carlos leads product strategy and customer relationships at Kurios. He runs most demo calls himself — because the first thing a prospective customer needs to see is a live role path configured around their actual job families, not a slide deck.
The Team
Small team. Deep domain.
Ten people in Denver. Half came from L&D, HR-tech, or operator workforce programs. The rest came from enterprise SaaS infrastructure — the people who know how to build xAPI pipelines that don't break when Workday HCM updates. That mix is deliberate.

Our Mission
Operators carry the economy. Their people shouldn't plateau at orientation.
Workforce turnover in ops runs 25–40% annually. Research on ops attrition consistently points to the same underlying factor: workers who never received a clear development path from their current role to the next one. Generic compliance training doesn't address that. A role-mapped IDP that gives a field tech a concrete route to supervisor — with xAPI completion records that follow them into every HRIS they'll ever work in — addresses it.
We built Kurios for the L&D Director who sits in QBRs explaining to a VP of Operations why the LMS rollout still isn't producing productivity numbers. Kurios is the system that gives that director a defensible ramp-time trend line — and the VP of Ops a number worth acting on.
We're based in Denver. Come see us build.
