Learn Capital’s new outcomes-driven framework highlights how responsible AI investment is transforming human potential through education.
Learn Capital, a leading global venture capital firm investing in the future of learning and human capital development, has released its 2025 Annual Outcomes Report, titled AI & the Future of Learning. The report outlines how the firm’s portfolio companies are utilizing AI to enhance learning outcomes for millions of students and workers across more than 90 countries, with a focus on measurable impact, inclusivity, and evidence-based design.
“The real promise of AI in education isn’t automation — it’s amplification: of agency, imagination, and human potential at scale, with the power to expand access and deliver real efficacy where it matters most,” said Rob Hutter & Greg Mauro, Learn Capital’s Founders & Managing Partners.
