Evulpo, a Zurich-based EdTech startup, has secured €9.3 million in a Series A funding round, despite ongoing constraints in the VC market, reflecting a strong belief in Evulpo’s AI-powered approach to education and the capabilities of its founding team.
A significant portion of the funding comes from existing investors, signalling long-term confidence in the startup’s vision. Backers include Zurich’s Serpentine Ventures, Swiss family offices, and notable entrepreneurs such as Dr Felix Grisard (Chairman of HIAG), Dario Fazlic (founder of WeFox), Bruno Pfister (former Swiss Life CEO), footballer and investor Yann Sommer, and Aribeda, the family office of former UBS CEO Dr Peter Wuffli.
“The potential of our AI-driven learning platform is virtually limitless. Investors who join us today have the chance to be part of the world’s leading e-learning solution,” said Dr Christian Marty, Co-founder and CEO of Evulpo.
Founded in Zurich in 2020, Evulpo has grown rapidly since its 2022 market debut, now operating in seven countries and used by thousands of families and around 100 schools. The average session length of over 30 minutes notably outpaces global EdTech engagement benchmarks.
The platform delivers curriculum-aligned content created in collaboration with Swiss universities, combining explainer videos, concise summaries and interactive exercises. By integrating artificial intelligence, Evulpo offers gamified, adaptive learning paths for students, while teachers benefit from planning tools, learning analytics and automatic grading systems.
Academic endorsements further support its effectiveness. “Evulpo combines an AI-powered learning environment with curriculum-aligned content, effectively supporting both students and teachers,” said Prof Uschi Backes-Gellner from the University of Zurich.
Roughly 70% of the fresh capital is earmarked for further product development. Evulpo plans to introduce fully adaptive lessons that respond dynamically to student knowledge levels. Future updates will also include inter-class gamification features and dashboards that offer teachers and school leaders actionable insights to close learning gaps.
The startup is positioning itself not just as an EdTech supplement, but as a foundational infrastructure for modern education systems. Its goal is to enhance learning outcomes, ease teacher workloads and make education more efficient. “Think of us as a digital textbook – only ten times more effective,” said Danni Li, Chief Product Officer at Evulpo.
In a global education system wrestling with falling PISA scores, teacher shortages and systemic inefficiencies, Evulpo aims to offer a smart, scalable alternative. Previous funding rounds included €2.4 million in angel investment and €8.2 million in a seed round. The latest Series A extends the company’s funding total to over €19.9 million.
