In a world where AI is reshaping industries at lightning speed, there remains a significant challenge: the skills gap. Despite the growing interest in AI, many organizations feel unprepared to commit to an ambitious AI strategy. According to the IDC Business Opportunity of AI Study<\/a>, one of the key reasons is that 45% of business leaders believe their workforce lack the necessary strategic knowledge and technical skills to effectively implement and harness this powerful technology.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skills gap is widening, and it is our collective responsibility to bridge it. Business leaders and professionals are exploring ways to build and enhance critical skills within their teams, and Microsoft is leading the charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to launching ambitious skill-building initiatives such as the upcoming Microsoft AI Skills Fest<\/a>, we\u2019re also eager to spotlight innovative organization like Founderz<\/strong><\/a>, a groundbreaking online learning platform that has gone from a bold idea to a leader in AI skilling in just a few years. Their story is worth sharing not only because of their emerging role in ensuring the workforce is prepared for the future, but because it\u2019s a testament to the power of innovation, perseverance, and the impact of just one company believing in a vision.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One \u201cyes\u201d can change everything <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Co-founders Anna Cejudo and Pau Garcia-Mila had a simple but powerful idea: what if online business education could capture the depth, collaboration, and networking of the world\u2019s top business schools\u2014but in a way that was scalable, accessible, and built for the AI-powered future? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We felt there is still a big gap between the experience we have when we go to an on-site business school\u2014where you meet the best professors, the best content\u2014and the way we learn online,” explained Pau Garcia-Mila, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spent years building the technology behind Founderz, investing in AI-powered learning models that would make online education engaging, interactive, and deeply effective. But by 2023, they were at a breaking point. Funding had run out, and they needed a breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a final effort, they sent three emails to companies at the forefront of AI\u2014hoping one of them would see what they saw: a future where AI education was truly transformative. Only Microsoft responded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founderz was accepted into the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub<\/a>, which provided access to industry-leading AI services, expert guidance, and essential technology to supercharge their growth. Entering the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub at Tier 4 also unlocked USD150,000 in Microsoft Azure credits, enabling the company to scale their platform, refine their AI-powered learning model, and start delivering high-quality AI education at scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Founderz itself is helping change lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In 2024, we had roughly 10,000 users learning AI with Founderz,\u201d recalled Anna Cejudo, co-CEO and co-founder. \u201cBy the end of the year, we were at 50,000. And now, by the beginning of March, we reached 100,000 users training in AI. The real revolution isn\u2019t AI\u2014it\u2019s education,\u201d added Anna, highlighting the fundamental role of learning in driving change. They\u2019ve also become a Microsoft Training Services Partner, making the decision to offer training exclusively on Microsoft AI technology.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI skilling done differently <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founderz is far from being just another online course provider. Pau, Anna, and their growing team are rethinking how AI is taught by blending structured learning with real-time collaboration, personalized AI-powered support, and a hands-on approach to applying AI in real-world scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the Founderz learning experience are high-quality, cinematic-style lectures. Unlike traditional online courses that rely on static, slide-based presentations, Founderz films its courses in a MasterClass-style format, featuring top AI experts from Microsoft and beyond. This approach allows learners to hear directly from the people shaping the future of AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert content in student\u2019s native language <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But Founderz goes beyond delivering engaging content\u2014it\u2019s about accessibility. A core mission is to provide top-tier AI education in students’ native languages. Next-generation lip-syncing technology ensures that learners experience AI-powered content seamlessly, without language barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can watch a Responsible AI class from Microsoft\u2019s Mihaela Vorvoreanu in my language,\u201d says Pau Garcia-Mila. \u201cShe speaks in first person, saying, \u2018When we built this Responsible AI model at Microsoft.\u2019 I\u2019d love to be able to learn from the source in my mother tongue.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small group collaboration  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While putting \u201cthousands of people in a virtual room\u201d enables Founderz to pay the best professors at a lower per-student cost, the company also sought to build a platform that supported meaningful collaboration. AI-powered tools match students into small, diverse learning circles, where they tackle real-world AI challenges, share insights, and build lasting professional networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multilingual student support around the clock <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To further support its rapidly growing user base, Founderz’ team of AI-powered teaching assistants or \u201cFellows\u201d provide real-time multilingual support, allowing learners to receive help in their native language while keeping operations efficient for the human support team.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Pau Garcia-Mila explained, “The Fellows are speaking any language in the world, but our human team sees everything in English,” ensuring seamless interaction across different languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These AI-powered teaching assistants provide real-time feedback, analyze student interactions, and escalate complex questions to human instructors when needed. Whether a learner is a complete beginner or an experienced professional, Founderz ensures they receive the support they need to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education means opportunity<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founderz\u2019 journey from a bold idea to an emerging AI skilling leader is proof that AI education is more than just accessing information\u2014it\u2019s about unlocking potential. Its pioneering efforts continue to inspire countless organizations to embrace AI education and drive meaningful transformation worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Anna Cejudo puts it, “Education means opportunity, and if we can deliver high-quality education to as many people as possible, we\u2019re giving them the chance to change their lives and control their futures.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Microsoft, we couldn\u2019t agree more. Microsoft\u2019s mission has always been about creating technology that empowers others to innovate and solve real-world problems. This holds true in the age of AI. Our commitment to skilling is not just about technology adoption, it\u2019s about people development. Over the past year, Microsoft has trained and certified over 23 million people across more than 200 countries in digital skills, with the goal of ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to succeed in a world where AI will be commonplace and a natural extension of everything we do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
