AI Startup Volley.com Receives Strategic Investment From JPMorgan Chase

Financing to Accelerate Startup’s Platform for Synthesizing Enterprise Knowledge

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) has made a strategic investment in Volley (volley.com), an artificial intelligence company that has developed a knowledge engine to generate, synthesize, and recommend personalized content for learning and knowledge management applications.

“Employees today face a ‘knowledge explosion’ of unprecedented scale,” said Volley founder and CTO Carson Kahn. “Volley’s mission to computationally synthesize the world’s knowledge represents a giant leap toward helping the world learn faster and cheaper with artificial intelligence.”

“Volley’s innovative technology to ingest, integrate, and target micro-learning content automatically can fundamentally transform the way firms like ours approach learning and knowledge management,” said Joseph Infozino, Head of Learning Platforms at JPMorgan Chase.

“We’ll use JPMorgan’s financing to expand our team’s unique AI expertise, accelerate our technical capabilities, and continue expanding delivery of Volley’s commercial platform to a variety of other leading banks and Fortune 500 firms,” said Volley founder and CEO Zaid Rahman.

“Volley is tackling and solving one of the most difficult and important problems in machine learning: extracting knowledge from unstructured information,” said Dr. Paul Walker, PhD, Volley Senior Advisor and former Global Co-Head of Technology at Goldman Sachs. “By extracting the ‘latent pedagogy’ from our information bases to generate learning resources automatically, we create a more informed and agile workforce in today’s information enterprise.”

In financing Volley, JPMorgan is joining an investor base which includes Zuckerberg Ventures, TAL (NYSE: TAL), and a variety of high-profile current and former executives from Goldman Sachs, Apple, Facebook, Udemy, and Dropbox.
