Amsterdam, the Netherlands — We’re thrilled to announce that LearnWise AI has raised €2 million in seed funding, led by Emerge, Europe’s leading edtech-focused venture fund. This milestone allows us to expand our global reach, accelerate product innovation, and grow our team to meet the increasing demand from universities seeking to enhance student support amidst limited resources.

Tackling a Growing Challenge in Higher Education

‍

At LearnWise, we recognize universities' immense challenges in providing exceptional support for their students while managing constrained budgets. Our AI-powered platform addresses this need head-on, helping institutions reduce support queries, enhance efficiency, and create meaningful student experiences.

‍

So far, we’ve been proud to achieve:

• 720,000+ students served globally
• 50% reduction in support queries at leading institutions

And we’re just getting started!

Our Vision: Responsible AI for a Better Student Experience

‍

"Students don't need another chatbot – they need a personal concierge who understands their complete university journey and fully integrates into the EdTech ecosystem of an institution,"  shares Greg Marschall, CEO of LearnWise. "We're building responsible AI that makes support truly accessible, regardless of time, platform, or language."

‍

This commitment means more than just answering questions. We’re dedicated to improving support systems over time by identifying gaps, addressing trends, and ensuring every student receives the help they need, whenever they need it.

‍

What Makes Our Platform Stand Out

‍

Our platform is transforming how universities approach student support. Here’s how:

‍

• Seamless integration with platforms like Canvas LMS, Brightspace, Moodle, Blackboard, and ReadyEducation
• AI-driven knowledge management that identifies and addresses content gaps
• Real-time analytics offering actionable insights into support trends
• 24/7 multilingual support across all digital channels
• Rapid deployment, with implementation completed in under 30 minutes

‍

We’re proud to empower institutions with a solution that meets them where they are in their digital transformation journey while scaling effortlessly across departments.

Backed by Emerge: Fueling Our Mission

Our partnership with Emerge is a pivotal step forward. As Nic Newman, General Partner at Emerge, shares:

‍
“LearnWise perfectly aligns with our mission to democratize education. As universities face mounting pressure to scale support with limited resources, their ethical AI platform ensures every student can access the help they need, whenever they need it.”

‍

We’re grateful for their belief in our vision and excited to build the future of student support together.
