What happened
Montreal-based startup Solving.AI announced it has secured $1.1 million CAD in a pre-seed funding round led by AQC Capital alongside Québec angel investors. The capital will be used to launch its AI-powered training platform designed to help employees learn to use complicated workplace software quickly and effectively.
Their flagship product, ShowMe, integrates with complex business tools such as Salesforce and HubSpot to provide users with real-time, AI-driven assistance. It supports both text and voice queries, guiding employees as they navigate software interfaces to reduce the traditional learning curve significantly.
Why it matters
Many corporations invest millions in software solutions but face productivity slows as employees struggle with adoption, often taking six to twelve months to become proficient. This slow uptake results in substantial revenue loss and underutilization of purchased technology.
Solving.AI’s solution addresses this gap by simplifying user onboarding and accelerating learning timelines. Enhancing software usability not only improves employee efficiency but also increases customer retention for software vendors, potentially boosting enterprise ROI on costly subscriptions.
What to watch next
The Solving.AI team, featuring founders and key executives with backgrounds in fast-growing startups like Talent.com, Lightspeed Commerce, and Vasco, plans to focus initial funding efforts on go-to-market strategies and product refinement.
The company aims to secure a further funding round within the next 12 to 15 months to scale its solution. Monitoring their customer acquisition and partnership traction with large enterprise software vendors will be critical to evaluating long-term impact on corporate software training and adoption markets.
