Ambi

Ambi is a New York-based educational technology company that provides a business-to-business software-as-a-service learner engagement platform designed to centralize the college experience. The enterprise platform combines traditional learning management system functionalities with social networking features to help students, faculty, and campus administrators communicate and collaborate within a single digital environment. Positioned as an alternative to legacy systems like Blackboard, the company utilizes a product interface developed by former designers from prominent technology firms including Instagram and Slack. Operating with a workforce of fewer than 50 employees, the enterprise sells its subscription licenses directly to higher education institutions across the sector. The startup has raised $6.5 million in seed funding to date, securing financial backing from notable investors such as Mark Cuban. Ambi was founded in 2018 by Saad El Yamani and Soham Khaitan.
