doinstruct Raises €16.5M Series A to Transform Frontline Operations with AI-Powered Compliance Software.

• doinstruct, an AI-powered platform for frontline compliance training, raises a €16.5M Series A led by HV Capital with participation from existing investors including Creandum, HTGF, D11Z and others.
• doinstruct’s compliance software helps companies increase knowledge retention rate by 60% and lower training management costs by 53%, enabling European manufacturers to stay competitive during economic headwinds.
• In a global market of 2.8 billion frontline workers, where inadequate training causes $46B revenue loss in the US alone, doinstruct addresses critical skill gaps by making safety and compliance accessible in 25+ languages.
• The funding will be used to further expand the company’s offering across key European markets.

doinstruct, the leading compliance platform for frontline worker training, announces €16.5M in Series A funding led by HV Capital, with participation from existing investors including Creandum, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), D11Z and others. This marks the company’s third consecutive year of successful fundraising, bringing its total investment to €26M to help companies navigate growing regulatory complexity with an AI-powered compliance platform.

“Companies are drowning in regulatory requirements while simultaneously dealing with staff shortages and pressure to increase efficiency,” said Charlotte Rothert, CEO and Co-founder of doinstruct. “The frontline workforce – from food processors to construction workers, from logistics operators to manufacturers – lacks the basic tools that office workers take for granted. Over 1 billion of these workers face language or literacy barriers, yet they must navigate increasingly complex regulations daily. Traditional compliance approaches are failing both workers and companies, creating unsustainable burdens on operations.”

doinstruct has evolved from a training solution to an AI-powered compliance and operational excellence platform that makes safety and regulatory compliance effortless. The platform rebuilds their clients’ workplace structure, automatically identifies risks, generates documentation, and delivers engaging, bitesized training content in workers’ native languages – all without requiring app downloads, passwords, or email addresses.

“We’re witnessing a paradigm shift in how industrial companies approach compliance and operational excellence,” said Mona Feder, CPO and Co-founder of doinstruct. “For many of our clients, doinstruct represents their first meaningful implementation of AI. We’re not just solving compliance challenges – we’re democratizing AI access for the backbone of our economy.”

“Compliance and safety management have long been major bottlenecks for industrial companies. doinstruct is changing that by streamlining the process, helping companies maintain top-tier safety standards more efficiently. Their impressive growth shows a clear demand for smarter compliance solutions.” – David Fischer, Partner at HV Capital

As Europe faces economic headwinds, employers are increasingly focused on operational efficiency and cost optimization. “In the current economic climate, our platform isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s becoming essential for maintaining competitiveness,” said Rothert. “We’re seeing our clients achieve 60% increase in knowledge retention rate and 53% lower training costs, which directly impacts their bottom line during these challenging times.”

Simultaneously, as Europe implements measures to attract skilled foreign workers to address significant labor shortages, doinstruct’s multilingual solution is proving crucial for workplace integration. The platform automatically handles documentation and training in over 25 languages, enabling companies like Do&Co, Wiesenhof, Voelkel, Schmitz Feuerwehrtechnik, and Echterhoff to rapidly and safely integrate international workers while maintaining strict compliance standards. Several leading manufacturers report reducing new worker integration time from weeks to days using doinstruct.

The company plans to expand its presence across key European markets while continuing to invest in its AI capabilities to further streamline frontline operations.
