Quix raises $350K to expand in LATAM
A Strategic Investment to Drive Expansion
Colombian-Argentine startup Quix, specializing in personalized corporate training, has successfully closed its $350,000 pre-seed funding round, reaching a valuation of $3 million. This investment will fuel the company’s expansion across Latin America, optimizing how corporations train their workforce using artificial intelligence. The round was backed by renowned investment funds such as Mr. Pink from Argentina and Venture.Do from the Dominican Republic.
One of Quix’s key advantages is its ability to create fully customized training programs for large companies in under 48 hours, leveraging existing company materials like documents, videos, and presentations. This reduces friction and accelerates both onboarding and continuous training updates, ultimately optimizing time and resources.
A Team with Deep Expertise in EdTech
Quix is led by CEO Ignacio Barrea, who has extensive experience in educational technology across Latin America. Barrea holds an MBA and is a Doctoral Candidate in Business Administration, specializing in AI’s impact on corporate education. He previously worked at EdTech leaders Digital House and Platzi.
The founding team also includes Julia Insua (CFO), Santiago Gómez (CRO), and Carlos Alarcón (CTO)—all bringing valuable industry experience, with several years at Platzi. Their collective expertise in education technology and business growth positions Quix as a formidable player in the AI-driven corporate training sector.
AI-Powered Learning That Delivers Real Impact
What sets Quix apart from other tech startups is its ability to solve real corporate training challenges through AI, without compromising scalability or profitability. According to Jorge Vargas from Venture.Do, "In a landscape where many companies claim to use AI in their pitches, Quix truly applies AI to solve a critical challenge, refining its technology with a forward-looking vision.”
Quix integrates AI conversational agents into platforms like WhatsApp, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, providing employees with a 24/7 virtual tutor. This tutor not only guides learning but also offers constructive feedback, answers questions, and monitors training progress through simulations and role-playing, rather than relying solely on traditional assessments.
"Quix focuses on must-have training, not just ‘nice-to-have’ courses. Employees learn exactly what they need to perform their roles, within the platforms they already use daily. This approach has resulted in course completion rates of up to 70%,” adds CEO Ignacio Barrea.
Scaling Up for the Future
With this new capital, Quix will accelerate its corporate market expansion in LATAM and enhance its platform with new features to boost training efficiency. According to Santiago Gómez, CRO of Quix, "The challenge is not just building the best technology but ensuring its widespread adoption within companies to drive real productivity gains.”
As part of its growth strategy, Quix plans to offer free pilot programs to major organizations in the region, allowing them to experience firsthand how the platform enhances training programs. The company will also strengthen its engineering team and improve customer support for key industries.
With this investment, Quix solidifies its position as one of the most promising startups in the corporate training and AI space in LATAM, with a clear focus on driving real, measurable business productivity impact.
