01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Databits was a Mexico City-based enterprise training platform for data science and AI skills across Latin America. Born in Ecuador in 2019 and founded by Fernanda Aldrette and Fernanda Huilca, its subscription-based adaptive learning platform offered courses in data analytics, machine learning, Python, data engineering and more, plus Talentbits, a tool for evaluating employees' analytical skills. It trained more than 6,000 professionals, counted Diners Club, AT&T and KFC among clients, and was named one of HolonIQ's 100 most promising LatAm edtech companies. It raised a $600,000 pre-seed round in September 2023 and is now listed as shut down.
