On behalf of our client, Pluralsight, Inc.

For the Staff’s reference, we are providing to the Staff by overnight delivery copies of this letter as well as both a clean copy of the Registration Statement and a copy marked to show all changes from the version filed on May 7, 2018.

Dilution, page 71
1. | Please explain how you calculated the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2018 of $11.2 million, and if appropriate to investor understanding, revise to disclose the calculation. In this regard, when recalculating this figure using the Pluralsight, Inc. Pro Forma balance sheet amounts shown on page 81, we are unable to agree with your disclosed amount. Revise to clarify the comparability of the definition of “pro forma as adjusted” net tangible book value reflecting post-offering proceeds to the “Pluralsight, Inc. Pro forma” column on page 79, which likewise reflects the offering proceeds. |
The Company advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 72 to address the Staff’s comment.
