Evulpo successful with 8.8 million Swiss francs Series A

The Zurich-based EdTech start-up evulpo has successfully completed a Series A financing round of 8.8 million Swiss francs, making it one of the most promising e-learning companies in Europe. In a market environment in which investments are highly selective, this is a strong signal: the founding team around Dr. Christian Marty and Jonas Fehlmann impresses investors with technological innovation and a clear vision for the future of learning.

The potential of our AI-based education platform is almost limitless. Anyone who joins us has a good chance of being part of the world's leading e-learning solution.

Investors with a long-term perspective

A large part of the funding comes from existing investors, including Serpentine Ventures, several Swiss family offices and personalities such as Dr. Felix Grisard (HIAG), Dario Fazlic (WeFox), Bruno Pfister (ex-SwissLife), Yann Sommer (professional footballer & investor) and Dr. Peter Wuffli (ex-UBS, Aribeda).

Since its launch in 2022, evulpo has been active in seven countries and is already being used by thousands of families and around one hundred schools. With an average learning time of 30 minutes per session, the platform is well above international benchmarks.

Tech and impact

• 70% of the new funding will flow directly into product development.
• In future, every lesson will be fully adaptive, with learning paths that automatically adjust to the level of knowledge.
• Gamification elements such as school challenges will enhance the learning experience.
• Dashboards will provide teachers and school administrators with specific recommendations for action.

We are investing where the race will be decided in the long term - in an outstanding product that is constantly being optimized.

Radical optimization of school systems

Evulpo does not see itself as an add-on, but as a digital infrastructure for education systems. The aim is to increase learning progress, relieve the burden on teachers and make education systems more efficient.

We are like a digital teaching aid - only ten times more efficient.

Danni Li, Chief Product Officer evulpo

evulpo's business model is based on a combination of B2C and B2B approaches. Families and students can access the platform's curriculum-compliant content via a subscription model and thus flexibly use tutoring or supplements to the school curriculum. At the same time, evulpo works closely with schools, teachers and educational institutions that can use the service via institutional licenses. This two-pronged approach makes it possible to serve both the direct end customer market and the structural education sector.
