The Regis Company Expands its AI-Supported Simulation Learning Platform and Closes Seed Round Investment
Company focuses on expanding its SimGate™ experiential learning platform for enterprises to create and deploy simulation-based learning at scale.
Golden, CO. — The Regis Company, a pioneering developer of innovative learning solutions, announces the release of SimGate™, the AI-powered simulation platform for enterprise learning, and its successful closure of a $3.5 million seed funding round.
The SimGate™ platform enables global organizations to create, develop, implement, and manage simulations. The platform’s no-code authoring environment allows users to create relevant and engaging business simulations. Along with powerful AI integrations, learning designers can easily create new, highly contextual learning experiences with a few simple prompts.
SimGate’s™ Suite of tools has cut the design and development cost of simulations by 90%. SimGate’s™ proprietary AI accelerates the design and development of simulations by allowing organizations to effortlessly incorporate their unique content — from past learning materials to proprietary data — into a unified authoring environment.
Leveraging this content, organizations have the freedom to produce content solely rooted in their initial materials or choose to augment it with additional AI-driven insights.
This funding round represents a significant achievement for the company, confirming the anticipated rapid growth associated with practice-based learning through simulations. The investment was led by Access Venture Partners with participation from Firebrand Ventures, FirstMile Ventures, and a strategic investor, Management Concepts.
SimGate™ has revolutionized the learning experience, allowing participants to engage with content by making decisions, observing the consequences, and refining their thinking. Frank Mendicino, Managing Partner at Access Venture Partners notes, “The ability of simulations to improve behavior and thinking is unmatched. Yet, many organizations resort to eLearning due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. With SimGate’s AI-powered tools, organizations can now effortlessly create skill-building simulations instead of just consuming eLearning content.”
SimGate™ simulations are adaptable in terms of duration and delivery formats (self-guided, team-based, or in-person learning) and cater to a wide range of skill development – including enhancing leadership, interpersonal development, sales effectiveness, operational efficiencies, and business acumen. The behavioral analytics captured by each simulation provides organizations with data and insights into their learner’s abilities, thinking, and alignment with organizational objectives.
Mike Vaughan, CEO of The Regis Company, states, “Simulations have long been the preferred method for upskilling and reskilling the workforce; however, they’ve been too costly to build, deploy, and maintain. Not anymore. With SimGate, any size organization can use simulations to transform their people and their business faster.”
The funds raised will be utilized by The Regis Company to further build out a sales and marketing team with the goal of educating the world about creating scalable, affordable, and effective learning simulations. To delve deeper into SimGate, visit trccorpdev.wpengine.com.
