The funding follows the rapid adoption of LearnWise AI’s platform, which has already helped leading institutions reduce support queries by 50% while serving over 720,000 students globally. The investment will accelerate product development and team expansion to meet growing demand from universities facing increased support needs with constrained resources.
“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.”
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.”
