Kahoot is currently owned by a consortium of investors led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and General Atlantic, with additional major shareholders including LEGO Group’s KIRKBI Invest A/S and Glitrafjord (an entity controlled by Kahoot CEO Eilert Hanoa). This follows the company’s $1.7 billion acquisition deal, after which Kahoot was delisted from the Oslo Stock Exchange and became a privately held entity[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
The new ownership structure is reflected in the Board of Directors, now chaired by Gavin Patterson, and marks a strategic phase focused on innovation and global market expansion for the platform[7].
