Teachers are always looking for new ways to deliver engaging lessons to their students. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about topics in education technology, and now there’s a platform that’s using AI to revolutionize online training for professionals.
Sana Labs, a Sweden-based company, has recently announced the successful completion of its Series B round with an additional $28 million investment. The round was co-led by DoorDash, Uber, Robinhood backer New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and California-based VC Workday Ventures, bringing the total funding raised in Series B to $62 million.
The company will use this investment to continue expanding its product development and commercial teams across Stockholm, London, and New York offices. Founded in 2016 by Joel Hellermark, Sana Labs is working to empower organizations worldwide by enabling employees to learn at an accelerated pace and be exponentially more productive. The startup has created a platform that blends the best of enterprise search, a learning management system, meeting tools, and a knowledge management system into one single platform.
The idea behind Sana is to unlock global progress by unlocking knowledge for every employee across any organization, and the team has now unveiled its next milestone: Sana AI. This intelligent co-pilot seamlessly integrates with a company’s knowledge base, offering an array of functionalities, including cross-app searches, real-time meeting summaries, natural language command responses, and the ability to create comprehensive learning courses from scratch.
Commenting on the fundraising, Founder & CEO of Sana Labs, Joel Hellermark, said: “At Sana, we believe every organization’s mission depends on the collective intelligence of its employees. AI is the key to solving this problem at scale. We’re thrilled to have support from NEA and strategic investors like Workday Ventures on this mission.”
The platform is already being used by well-known companies like Merck, Kry/Livi, and Svea Solar, all of whom praise Sana’s superior user experience and product velocity. As part of the investment, Scott Sandell and Philip Chopin, renowned industry experts, will join Sana’s board, further bolstering the company’s mission to revolutionize knowledge creation, sharing, and access through AI technology.
Teachers can benefit from AI-powered tools like Sana to create interactive and engaging lessons for their students. The platform will enable them to more easily access and share knowledge with their students, as well as create comprehensive learning courses. With the help of AI, teachers will be able to boost their students’ learning potential and make knowledge more accessible than ever before.
