Berlin, May 11, 2026. Elephant, the AI-powered platform for frontline excellence and knowledge transfer in operational organizations, has successfully closed a funding round of more than €5 million. The round is led by EnBW New Ventures and Wepa, alongside angel investors from the networks of Flix, Home24, Quentic, SB21 and Topi.
The fresh capital will be used to expand the team and further develop the platform.
Frontline teams as a real competitive advantage
Operational teams across service, manufacturing, logistics, retail and field operations are the backbone of operational businesses — yet often remain among the least digitized parts of an organization. Knowledge is passed on verbally, training materials are outdated, and critical information is frequently unavailable exactly when employees need it most in their daily work.
This is exactly where Elephant comes in: its AI-powered course builder transforms complex processes and internal knowledge into interactive micro-learning content in just a few clicks. The mobile app integrates training directly into employees' workflows, while an AI assistant delivers context-specific information exactly when it is needed.
The result: teams that execute processes more reliably, adapt faster to change, and spend less time on unnecessary back-and-forth communication.
Voices on the funding round
"Knowledge collecting dust in PDFs or PowerPoint presentations helps no one. We bring it directly to the people who make the operational difference every day. With EnBW New Ventures and Wepa, we've gained partners who face this challenge themselves and help us continuously improve our solution." Maurice Zomorrodi, Co-CEO & Co-Founder, Elephant
"Elephant addresses one of the core challenges modern companies face: the loss of knowledge amid increasing pressure for efficiency. With deeply integrated AI agents, learning becomes process-oriented, personalized, and available directly at the point of need for the first time." Pascal Beckers-Jaleta, Investment Principal, EnBW New Ventures
Investors with operational expertise
With EnBW New Ventures and Wepa Ventures joining the round, Elephant gains two experienced corporate venture capital units whose parent companies manage large operational workforces and understand the day-to-day challenges firsthand. Their role goes beyond providing capital: they act as strategic partners, giving Elephant direct access to corporate structures and continuous expert feedback from real operational use cases.
In addition, the participation of numerous business angels from the network of experienced founders highlights the growing market relevance and momentum surrounding AI-powered knowledge transfer.
