UnifyApps secures $11Mn to transform enterprise integrations with generative AI

UnifyApps

The average enterprise uses nearly 400 SaaS applications that are not connected to each other, leading to data silos and scattered insights across the organization. In a significant move to streamline this process, UnifyApps has announced an $11 million seed funding round to build a unified integration platform that will allow enterprises to create custom applications 10x faster, build workflow automations and sync data between applications in real-time. The funding, led by Elevation Capital, along with participation from the founders and angel investors, underscores the growing demand for real-time connectivity between applications in the enterprise technology landscape. UnifyApps was co-founded by Pavitar Singh (CEO), who served as the CTO at NYSE-listed enterprise software company Sprinklr, along with Sumeet Nandal (COO), Abhishek Kurana (CPO), Rachit Mittal (CTO), Abhinav Singi (VP Engineering), Rahul Anishetty (VP Engineering), Kavish Manubolu (VP Engineering) and Shivam Satrawal (VP Product Management). The idea for UnifyApps was born after the founders realized that enterprise companies lacked a solution for seamless app integration, leaving tremendous untapped value from cost optimizations and efficiency gains. Pavitar Singh, CEO of UnifyApps, said, "The rapid adoption of SaaS applications has led to building silos within the organization with each team using their own set of tools which are not connected to the rest of the organization. Our vision is to change this by making integration simple and accessible, enhancing experiences for both customers and employees". What sets UnifyApps apart is its comprehensive approach to integration, addressing four critical areas: data sync, workflow automation, no-code application development, and the creation of generative AI agents. While competitors may focus on individual areas, UnifyApps offers a holistic solution that delivers a better return on investment (ROI) and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers. Currently, UnifyApps is targeting large, forward-thinking enterprises globally. The platform is designed to be ready for enterprise scale and complexity. Looking ahead, UnifyApps plans to expand its platform to support over 5,000 applications and give organizations the flexibility to build their own custom integrations in less than a day. The company is also committed to advancing the capabilities of generative AI and building fine-tuned, purpose-built LLM-powered agents that will leverage these integrations. "Our goal is to deliver value first products and obsess over customer satisfaction. We want enterprises to truly unlock the full potential of their technology investments. By using UnifyApps, they can unlock a lot of hidden value from their current SaaS ecosystem and propel the next level of growth.” added Pavitar Singh. Mukul Arora, Co-managing Partner, Elevation Capital, said, “We are really excited to partner with Pavitar, who has deep experience in building a large enterprise-focused SaaS business, and was instrumental in growing Sprinklr to a multi-100mn dollar revenue company. With UnifyApps, he wants to build a future where seamless unification across applications and data can help large enterprises automate complex business processes and bring unparalleled efficiency. We believe this can be a massive opportunity and are thrilled to be a part of this journey.” The announcement of UnifyApps' seed funding marks a significant milestone in the company's journey to redefine the SaaS unification landscape. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, UnifyApps is poised to reduce fragmented systems & bridge data silos by enabling teams to build complex applications, automate workflows and unify data across multiple applications.

Pioneering Education With AI-Driven EdTech Firm Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST): Insights From CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry

Benzinga

By James Blacker Amesite Inc (NASDAQ: AMST) CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry spoke with Benzinga recently about the company’s mission and the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. Below, we take a look at the key insights gathered from the interview, including Amesite’s unique approach and vision for the future. What Is Amesite? Amesite is an AI software company dedicated to building platforms and apps that facilitate learning. Their focus ranges from colleges and universities to individual consumers, with an emphasis on accessibility and effectiveness in education. What Sets Amesite Apart From Its Competitors? Other names in the space include Coursera Inc (NYSE: COUR), 2U Inc (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Udemy Inc (NASDAQ: UDMY). According to Dr. Sastry, Amesite gets its competitive edge from the use of AI coupled with a student-centric approach. The company aims to provide not just content but also the tools necessary for success. This is especially true for professional learning, Dr. Sastry noted, which is a lifelong endeavor and has a big impact on financial security and career growth. Amesite’s approach appears to be paying off, as in February the company reported an overall retention rate of 98% for paid learning experiences on its platform, far exceeding the industry average of 68-73%. Why Is Amesite Focused On Education? Continuous upskilling is essential in the world of work. Most of what people do on a daily basis is learned after formal education. The CEO highlighted the pitfalls of traditional learning management systems, which are mainly content repositories and lack a well-designed user experience. Course aggregators, meanwhile, offer courses on everything, making it difficult for consumers to pick out exactly what they need. Amesite, therefore, sees its partnership model with colleges and universities as an ideal way to curate relevant content and tools, addressing the diverse learning needs of individuals and ensuring localized, impactful education solutions. What Does Amesite Foresee Will Be The Next Evolution Of AI In This Space? Amesite invested early in AI and was discussing the technology even back when the company was founded in 2018, shared Dr. Sastry. In April, the company announced the beta release of its new NurseMagic TM app, which uses AI to provide helpful and easy-to-use tools for over 5.2 million nurses. Dr. Sastry sees this strategic shift towards mobile apps as a way to provide people with faster access to AI-powered learning tools. “Surf the AI wave. Make sure you have access to those tools so you can be competitive. That’s something we’re extremely excited about,” she said. Key Targets And Goals For The Company Amesite recently moved to a no-fee model for its higher ed platform, where customers pay monthly per user instead of paying set-up fees. Since then, the company has announced several five-year deals with colleges and universities. It most recently partnered with Volunteer State Community College and Joliet Junior College in March. These partnerships enable tailored learning experiences, addressing regional needs and industry demands. Dr. Sastry highlighted implicit bias training and active shooter preparedness as programs that Amesite now makes available nationwide, as this is a work requirement for many. In March, the company also announced a partnership with Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) to deliver accredited healthcare education. What's Behind Your Recent Momentum With Five Contract Wins With Various Colleges? Dr. Sastry attributes Amesite’s success to a tailored approach that caters to each institution's unique needs, especially when it comes to aligning with regional requirements and legislative shifts. “By working directly with colleges and universities and generating sustainable revenue, we can actually give the people what they want,” she said. “With our 98% retention, we are a very strong argument for colleges and universities to use the Amesite system, generate impact, and meet the needs that are required from legislators and assemblies.” Watch the full interview here.
