DeweyLearn Raises $5 Million Series A to Expand Multimodal AI for Skill Assessment

DeweyLearn has secured $5 million in an oversubscribed Series A funding round led by SJF Ventures, with participation from Catalysis Capital, Morningside, and Owl Ventures, announced in a press release. The New York company develops a multimodal AI platform that combines audio, video, and learning data with domain expertise to assess real world skills and deliver expert level feedback across education sectors.

DeweyLearn’s system is used in healthcare, higher education, workforce learning, and K-12 environments. It provides performance-based assessments that can evaluate tasks as a human instructor would, enabling large scale skill evaluation. The platform has already processed more than 20,000 student submissions at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, reducing instructor grading time and enabling faster feedback for learners.

The funding will help expand DeweyLearn’s use across educational institutions and professional training programs. The company collaborates with organizations such as Riverside Insights and the NeuroAffective Relational Model to enhance student and therapist assessment. DeweyLearn was co-founded by Luyen Chou and Dirk Liebich and recently received the ASU+GSV Cup for education technology innovation.
