Ahura AI, a leading AI learning experience platform startup, announced the close of their seed+ investment round, bringing the round’s total to $5.6M. This announcement follows the recent news of Ahura AI being chosen as a semifinalist in the GSV Cup 2023, the world’s largest pitch competition for Pre-K to Gray EdTech startups. The company’s recent capital raise will support and fuel the company’s product development and sales activity.
There’s been an explosion of innovation and change to corporate learning platforms (LMS, LXPs) catalyzed by recent trends of remote work, the Great Resignation, and heightened awareness of the positive impact of belonging on productivity and talent retention. New unicorn companies such as Degreed and Edcast are being minted, collecting increasing portions of the $90B American companies are now spending on corporate learning. “As investors in early stage ventures that are developing scalable and ground-breaking innovation, we are pleased to have invested and support Ahura AI in their critical work the team is doing in AI and personalized learning in upskilling workforces,” said Chris Sang, Managing Partner, CP Ventures.
“Data is the most valuable asset in the world, and companies like Ahura AI are creating economic opportunities for everyone globally to harness the value of their data to empower themselves. After recently raising $4.3M pre-revenue in the challenging economic climate, it’s clear the market is ready for such a groundbreaking transformation in both education as well as ESG-led data driven tools for positive impact,” said Brittany Kaiser, Founder of Own Your Own Data Foundation.
“As a refugee from the Middle East with educated and professional parents, I’ve been directly impacted by and witnessed the power of knowledge creating opportunity,” said Bryan Talebi, CEO & Co-founder of Ahura AI.
“We are doing groundbreaking work in impacting the future of how we learn, digital learning, and how to engage people and create new economic opportunities for all. Our recent additional seed raise is an incredible indicator that our allies, partners and investors support our mission driven company dedicated to not only our technology but also our team’s diversity and our global disposition.”
AI innovation and technologies come on the heels of the new talent development process, “everboarding,” where continuous learning and development of relevant skills are encouraged and invested in across teams company-wide.
What is “Everboarding”?
Ahura AI is defining a new category of capabilities for company learning platforms, moving beyond just simply housing and recommending content towards guiding employees to faster learning. Like Fitbit and other wearables that help track individual achievement to meet fitness goals faster, Ahura AI helps users understand their behaviors while they learn, significantly increasing accountability, learner engagement, and their skills-readiness to exceed business goals. Companies in a wide range of industries, including finance, clean energy, and health services, are seeing the value and impact of adopting Ahura AI to augment their LMS and LXP platforms.
Everboarding assumes that the learning process never truly ends as technology and strategies advance every day. Ahura AI’s platform helps workers discover ideal learning times preferred approaches, and it identifies and shares top distractions with the user to increase efficiency and shapes learners into better performers. Additionally, equipped with content partner course catalogs covering a broad range of topics, Ahura AI intends to become a catalyst for future workforce readiness in emerging fields like clean energy, vertical farming, and blockchain development.
