Inside CampusAI’s mission to close the AI training gap for everyday workers — check it out at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

As businesses strive for greater efficiency and competitiveness, there is a growing demand for employees to master AI tools. This shift has highlighted a significant training gap, particularly for non-technical individuals. Aureliusz Gorski, the founder and CEO of CampusAI, a Warsaw-based startup, emphasizes that current market offerings are few and largely not tailored for the everyday worker. CampusAI aims to address this gap with an educational platform designed to make AI learning accessible for all, whether for enhancing sales, human resources, legal work, or personal branding. The startup is preparing to showcase its innovative solutions at the upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt conference, where it is recognized as one of the Top 20 finalists in the Startup Battlefield. The core of CampusAI's offering is a comprehensive online learning ecosystem featuring two main components: an avatar-based learning model and a virtual campus set within the metaverse. This platform encourages users to engage with AI in a supportive environment, reminiscent of Roblox but tailored for adult learners. CampusAI provides its services directly to consumers as well as to businesses looking to create customized AI training paths for their teams. The startup claims to offer access to a variety of AI models, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and Flux, streamlining the learning process by allowing users to experiment without needing individual accounts or subscriptions. To keep pace with rapid technological advancements, CampusAI updates its courses daily. Their flagship course, Me+AI, is available for $250 annually, while the Team+AI product for businesses is priced at $25,000 per year. Gorski explains that the Team+AI program supports organizations in cultivating a culture that embraces human-AI collaboration. The initial three weeks include an AI readiness assessment, manager workshops, and organization-wide webinars, followed by tailored development paths for employees aligned with company objectives. AI researcher Aleksandra Przegalińska notes that CampusAI can design specific training pathways for various organizations, ensuring a personalized approach. This educational strategy is based on research related to human-AI collaboration aimed at enhancing business outcomes and solving complex problems. CampusAI equips students with a prompt book that serves as both a resource for effective prompts and a guide for students to refine their skills. Within the virtual campus, users can access the “AI Gym,” where they engage with challenges and exercises designed by an AI agent that evaluates their progress. Przegalińska emphasizes the importance of not merely delegating tasks to AI but working alongside it in diverse ways. This collaborative approach is intended to enhance productivity rather than replace human roles. CampusAI reports that its training yields significant returns on investment, with employees experiencing a 40% increase in efficiency and a 60% boost in job satisfaction. Since its launch in 2023, CampusAI has gained substantial traction, attracting over 600 clients within the first two weeks and expanding to 35,000 users. The company is collaborating with 60 enterprise clients, including notable names like ING, T-Mobile, Lenovo, and Ikea, and anticipates over $2 million in annual recurring revenue by 2025. CampusAI is in the process of raising $20 million in Series A funding to facilitate its expansion into 40 markets by 2030. Currently available in Polish, English, and Spanish, CampusAI has recently entered the U.K. and U.S. markets, focusing on B2B sales before expanding into direct consumer offerings. Successful course completers can join Community+AI, a digital platform for members to connect and collaborate on projects, such as hAI Magazine, which shares insights specific to various sectors. Beyond education, Gorski highlights CampusAI's digital twin technology as a significant asset. The company is not only creating its own virtual campus but also aims to design and license digital twins of real-world entities like universities, corporate offices, and government institutions for exclusive use by organizations. This product starts at $100,000 annually. Recently, CampusAI secured €18 million from the European Commission to partner with 11 universities across ten countries to develop digital twins and tailored learning environments. Gorski envisions these partnerships as catalysts for local innovation hubs, informed by his extensive experience at the Cambridge Innovation Center, where he initiated multiple programs to enhance Warsaw’s startup ecosystem. He believes that building robust local ecosystems is crucial to countering the influence of major tech companies, urging a focus on nurturing startups in light of the shifting landscape. To learn more about CampusAI and witness its innovations alongside other startups, attendees can join the TechCrunch Disrupt event from October 27 to 29 in San Francisco.
