Berlin-based doinstruct, a compliance platform for frontline worker training, announced that it has secured €16.5M in Series A funding led by HV Capital.
HV Capital is one of the leading early-stage and growth investors in Europe. HV Capital has invested in more than 250 internet and technology companies, supporting startups with ticket sizes ranging from €0.5M to €60M.
“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,” says David Fischer, Partner at HV Capital.
Existing investors, including Creandum, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), and D11Z, participated in the funding round. The latest funding round brings the total investment to €26M.
With this funding, the company plans to expand its presence across key European markets while continuing to invest in its AI capabilities to further streamline frontline operations.
“Companies are drowning in regulatory requirements while simultaneously dealing with staff shortages and pressure to increase efficiency,” says 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,” adds Rotheart.
doinstruct: AI-powered platform for frontline compliance training
Founded by Charlotte Rothert, Daniel Marinkovic, and Mona Feder, doinstruct is an AI-powered training platform for frontline workers, enabling companies to achieve effortless compliance and operational excellence.
Through AI technology, the German company removes traditional barriers to workplace safety and compliance.
The platform rebuilds its clients’ workplace structure, automatically identifies risks, generates documentation, and delivers engaging, bite-sized training content in workers’ native languages – all without requiring app downloads, passwords, or email addresses.
As a result, it will help organisations reduce costs, improve safety standards, and increase productivity across their frontline operations.
“In the current economic climate, our platform isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s becoming essential for maintaining competitiveness,” says Rothert. “We’re seeing our clients achieve 60 per cent increase in knowledge retention rate and 53% lower training costs, which directly impacts their bottom line during these challenging times.”
The company’s platform automatically handles documentation and training in over 25 languages, enabling companies like Do&Co, Wiesenhof, Voelkel, Schmitz Feuerwehrtechnik, and Echterhoff to rapidly integrate international workers while maintaining strict compliance standards.
Several leading manufacturers report reducing new worker integration time from weeks to days using doinstruct.
“We’re witnessing a paradigm shift in how industrial companies approach compliance and operational excellence,” says 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 democratising AI access for the backbone of our economy.”
