About acemate

Founded less than a year ago, acemate has quickly become Germany's leading AI learning platform for higher and further education, trusted by top-tier institutions across four countries, including University of Cologne, WHU and the Deutsche Industrie- und Handelskammer (DIHK).

Our Mission: Democratizing access to personalized learning. We don’t believe that AI will replace educators. Instead, we empower them to design and deliver personalized learning experiences at scale.
Our Growth: We've raised pre-seed funding and are growing rapidly. While we focus on higher education today, we're already expanding into new regions and markets.
Our Culture: We’re a young, driven team passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in education. We embrace builder culture and minimize scheduled meetings for ad-hoc discussions and maximized focus on coding and creating.
