Polish Startup CampusAI Showcases AI Upskilling Platform and Digital Twin Solutions at TechCrunch Disrupt

Warsaw-based CampusAI, a finalist in the TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield, presented its artificial intelligence (AI) education platform and digital twin solutions, addressing the increasing demand for AI proficiency among non-technical industrial and business professionals. The company reported significant user growth and enterprise client acquisition since its 2023 launch. Aureliusz Gorski, CampusAI founder and CEO, stated that companies' growing requirement for AI literacy has revealed a \"training gap\" for non-technical employees. The platform is designed to make AI learning accessible across various business functions, including sales, human resources, and legal, rather than solely focusing on technical users. CampusAI's core offering is an online learning ecosystem featuring avatar-based courses and a virtual campus environment where users can develop skills and collaborate. The platform integrates access to numerous AI models, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and Flux, allowing users to experiment within a single interface without requiring separate accounts. Course content is updated daily to reflect rapid technological advancements. For consumers, the flagship \"Me+AI\" course is priced at $250 annually, while the business-to-business (B2B) \"Team+AI\" product costs $25,000 per year. The \"Team+AI\" offering includes organizational AI readiness tests, workshops for managers, and personalized development paths for employees tailored to company objectives. Aleksandra Przegalińska, an AI researcher and scientific adviser to CampusAI, noted that the learning methodology is grounded in her research on human-AI collaboration for business results. This approach emphasizes prompting strategies, providing students with a prompt book and an \"AI Gym\" for targeted exercises and AI-agent assessments. Gorski emphasized the company's role in \"helping with the implementation of the human plus AI readiness culture\" within organizations. CampusAI reported accumulating over 35,000 users and securing 60 enterprise clients, including ING, T-Mobile, Lenovo, and Ikea. The company projects achieving over $2 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in 2025. It is currently seeking a $20 million Series A funding round to support its strategic expansion into 40 markets by 2030, having recently entered the U.K. and U.S. markets with a primary focus on B2B sales. The company claims its courses enhance employee efficiency by 40% and job satisfaction by 60%. In addition to its learning platform, CampusAI develops and licenses digital twin technology, creating virtual replicas of university campuses, corporate showrooms, or company headquarters for exclusive organizational use. This digital twins product starts at $100,000 per year. The European Commission has allocated €18 million to CampusAI for a collaborative project with 11 universities across 10 European countries to develop these digital twins and tailored learning environments. Gorski indicated these university partnerships serve as catalysts for local innovation hubs, an approach informed by his experience fostering startup communities in Warsaw. He stressed the importance of robust local ecosystems to counteract broader technological dominance.
