Paddy

paddy is an AI-native platform that radically simplifies the teaching workflow for educators across Germany. Developed by DigitalErleben GmbH and based in Bielefeld, Germany, paddy supports teachers throughout their entire teaching cycle - from lesson planning and material creation to analyzing learning progress. The platform integrates curriculum knowledge from all German federal states, built-in pedagogical structures, and educational standards that general AI models lack.

Founded in 2024 by three young entrepreneurs - Matty Frommann, Lukas Portmann, and Tobias Schröder - who亲眼目睹了教师们面临的挑战，并得到了包括High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF)在内的知名投资者的支持。paddy已迅速获得关注，在发布仅六个月后就拥有超过12,000名活跃教师用户，如今已增长到40,000多名教师使用该平台。该平台提供免费基础版本（每天5个免费提示）以及每月12.49欧元起的高级订阅，并为学校提供专门的教育许可。

The company appeared on the German TV show 'Die Höhle der Löwen' (Shark Tank equivalent), further increasing awareness of its mission to reduce teacher workload while improving student outcomes. All data is processed on German servers, ensuring GDPR compliance, and no student data is used for AI training - making paddy a trusted solution for educational institutions across the DACH region.
