🚀 Welcome doinstruct to the #Creandumfamily! 🚀 Founded by Charlotte Rothert, Mona Feder, Daniel Marinkovic and Thorsten Gross, doinstruct is a mobile-first onboarding and training platform built with the real needs of deskless workers front of mind. Our investment hypothesis: 👉 80% of the global workforce are frontline workers but current training options are not fit for purpose. The most common approach is to take the worker out of production, sit them in a classroom in front of a PC and view static content. Businesses are literally burning money with this approach. 👉 Frontline workers deserve a training product that has been built with their needs and behaviors front of mind. If their needs are met, shift leaders are happy. And if shift leaders are happy, business owners succeed. 👉 Simplicity rules when it comes to meeting the needs of frontline workers. No barriers, automated, personalized in their own language, engaging and easy. 👉 ‘Meh’ adoption rates won’t cut it when it comes to compliance training. It’s too important. You can’t have food processing workers not fully trained in food hygiene rules. 100% is the new 50%. 👉 Ease of implementation is also critical for managers who are not digital natives themselves and otherwise have to contend with many real world problems. No implementation means no adoption which means no compliance which means heavy fines or worse. 👉 Only a team with direct experience and knowledge of this world and who truly speaks the language of their customers will win. That’s why we’re so excited to back doinstruct in their €7.6m round, with participation from existing investors HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and D11Z.Ventures GmbH & Co. KG and prominent business angels. Read more about the investment in Simon Schmincke's blog and in the press coverage. Links in the comments 👇 cc Jakob Stein Janick Wagner
