Obrizum raises $11.5m in Series A funding to expand its adaptive learning platform.
The round was led by Guinness Ventures with participation from Beaubridge, Juno Capital Partners, Qatar Science and Tech Holdings, and Celeres Ventures.
Obrizum is a business to business digital learning technology company that provides data driven training and knowledge transfer platforms.
Obrizum has secured $11.5m in a Series A funding round led by Guinness Ventures, with additional backing from Beaubridge, Juno Capital Partners, Qatar Science and Tech Holdings, and Celeres Ventures. The company plans to use the capital to help large organisations rapidly upskill and reskill employees through adaptive learning technologies.
The business was founded in 2015 by a group of Cambridge scientists and offers an artificial intelligence platform that automates the curation of multimedia content into modular learning pathways. This system adjusts in real time based on user proficiency, reducing manual creation effort for enterprise training programmes.
From the founder
"Given that human capital costs are almost always one of the highest outgoing expenses in any business, not having a highly trained workforce who have easy access to the information they need to upskill fast is costing enterprises hundreds of millions of dollars every year and limiting their growth potential."

Co-founder and CEO at OBRIZUM
Investor perspective
"Obrizum’s adaptive learning technology not only cuts training times for large enterprises but ensures better learning outcomes. The return on investment for enterprises who use their technology is startling, and explains the take-up of Obrizum by household names here in Europe and the USA. At Guinness we recognise the Obrizum management team as insightful and driven, and with a strong commercial appreciation of what is required to build a world class business in the education technology field. We are delighted to support them on this journey."
