Overview
GuideSage, PBC is a venture-funded, pre-seed, stealth, agentic AI startup with a mission to responsibly help people reach their full potential through learning. We have a multi-product strategy to improve the way people learn using thoughtfully applied generative AI and ML. This year, we’re focused on building our first product, which will target the $400B corporate training market and define a new category.
GuideSage was founded by Adam Berrey, who brings 28 years of experience building successful software companies, including several IPOs and exits.
