NextWork offers an online platform where learners build real AI projects—such as chatbots and automated workflows—and publish authenticated portfolios that employers can easily verify. By shifting focus from traditional credentials to demonstrable outcomes, the company serves as a trust layer for AI-related hiring. Since its 2024 launch, more than 190,000 users in over 190 countries have completed projects on the site, with 22% of those projects created by U.S. learners aged 25–35. The company plans to establish its U.S. headquarters in Austin, Texas and will direct new funds toward engineering and growth hiring. NextWork’s model addresses the widening AI skills gap, helping individuals switch careers or earn promotions by showcasing concrete abilities. Financial details beyond user metrics have not been publicly disclosed, but recent backing underscores investor confidence in its growth trajectory.
