Today we have successfully launched the platform in 5 countries and have over 2.6 million active users, supported by leading global investors like Project A, Redalpine, or Stride.Vc.

In March our Co-Founder and CEO Benedict Kurz was on the Builders Stage at the START Global Summit. Have a glimpse into his discussion with Lucas Angermann (EWOR) and Sebastian Becker (Redalpine) on "Start Now or Regret Later - Finding the Right Time to Found" and the struggles that, especially young founders, can face. 

Luckily this never stopped Benedict Kurz, Gregor Weber, Lucas Hild and Yannik Prigl in building Knowunity and on our mission to create a future where every student can access, enjoy, and benefit from quality education, globally.  💙🚀

In times of high competition and high expectations, it is even more important to be as close to the user as possible. For Knowunity, this can sometimes be a challenge - as our users spend most of their time at school 😎

That's why last week our Founders, Product and Design teams decided to visit a soccer team during their practice to gather feedback on our app and learn more about how they use EdTech. We learned a lot and were once again amazed at how confident teens were with our app, how high their expectations were for AI features, and ... how well sports can connect kids from different backgrounds. 💙 

Thanks for letting us be at SV Rixdorf and thanks to all the guys who helped us improve our app! 🙌

Last week, our Co-Founder Gregor Weber had the privilege of giving a guest lecture for Designing Education Project Lab Berlin at Technische Universität Berlin.

The talk was about "Scaling Edtech and AI in Education", where Gregor shared insights into Knowunity's journey and growth, how we are building the product and discussed the transformative power of AI in education and how Knowunity is using AI to revolutionize the learning experience and empower students to learn more effectively.

For example, by providing users with a personalized learning experience with our AI learning buddy that supports students throughout the learning process. Thanks a lot Colin Matsinhe for inviting us to share our knowledge and experience with the students of the Designing Education Project Lab Berlin. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with the next generation of education and technology enthusiasts and discuss also their ideas about the future of EdTech.
