Elephant Company (Elephant), a Berlin-based startup aiming to unlock the potential of blue-collar workers with AI-powered training, has closed a funding round of over €5 million to grow its team and scale its platform.
The round was led by EnBW New Ventures and Wepa, with participation from business angels from Flix, home24 SE, SB21, Ventic Ventures and topi.
“Elephant addresses one of the core challenges of modern organisations: knowledge loss at a time of rising efficiency pressure. With deeply embedded AI agents, learning becomes process-near, personalised, and available right at the point of need,” said Pascal Beckers-Jaleta, principal, EnBW New Ventures.
Founded in 2022, Elephant is an AI-powered training platform designed for the frontline teams, streamlining knowledge transfer and communication directly in the field.
The company states that more than 70% of the global workforce consists of deskless workers. Nonetheless, frontline employees currently have limited access to digital tools and often feel alienated from their office-based colleagues.
Elephant seeks to close this divide by connecting frontline teams and decision-makers, enabling them to collaborate more effectively and work toward common objectives.
It provides an end-to-end training and communication platform for the frontline team, including a Field App, AI assistant, AI Coursebuilder, and Elephant Hub, which helps manage content, knowledge, teams, and learners.
“With an AI-powered course builder, teams can turn complex processes and internal know-how into interactive micro-learning in just a few clicks. The mobile app brings training into daily workflows, while an AI assistant provides context-aware answers at the point of need,” EnBW New Ventures mentioned in its LinkedIn post.
Karlsruhe-based EnBW New Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of EnBW. It backs European startups that make infrastructure digital and sustainable, and invests €1 to 10 million over several funding rounds.
