Disco AI wants your classroom back from the software
An academy with 8,000 learners should not need to become a software company. Disco’s wager is that courses, conversation and AI belong in the same room.
Julia Stiglitz
Julia Stiglitz is the CEO and co-founder of Uplimit (formerly CoRise), an AI-native learning platform that lets companies build, run, and personalize training programs for thousands of employees at once. A fourth-grade teacher turned edtech operator, she was one of the first ten employees at Coursera, where she founded the enterprise business and helped grow the company past 40 million learners. She later managed Google Apps for Education and was a partner at GSV Ventures before starting Uplimit in 2021 with fellow Coursera alumni. Her bet: that AI can finally make high-quality, personalized education a renewable resource rather than a scarce one.
Uplimit
Uplimit is an AI-native enterprise learning platform that helps companies upskill employees and customers at scale. Born from the online course startup CoRise, the company rebuilt itself around generative AI in 2023 and now offers purpose-built AI agents for skill-building, program management, and teaching support - automating course authoring, real-time feedback, and cohort management so a single team can train thousands of learners simultaneously. Led by ex-Coursera enterprise founder Julia Stiglitz, Uplimit reports course completion rates of 75-94%, far above typical e-learning, and serves customers including GE HealthCare, Kraft Heinz, Procore, Databricks, Gusto, and Clay.
