About the company

paddy is an AI platform developed by DigitalErleben GmbH, based in Bielefeld, supporting teachers across the entire teaching cycle. Founded in 2024 by Matty Frommann, Lukas Portmann, and Tobias Schröder – all children of teachers – and joined later that year by CTO Lukas Kaufmann, the company developed a solution to help teachers manage their overloaded school routines.
paddy eases the workload in planning, conducting, and reviewing lessons and supports educators in giving personalized attention to their students. With over 12,000 active users (teachers) just six months post-launch, paddy is well on its way to transforming education in the DACH region through AI.
