Portfolio Welcome: Medici Next
Companies spend billions each year on leadership training. Colleges and universities struggle to graduate “workforce” ready students. While the market is flooded with solutions offering generic advice and learning content, few solve the real problem: closing the gap between knowing and doing.
Meet Medici Next, creator of an AI-powered Behavioral OS built on decades of leadership development and innovation expertise, helps users acquire and grow skills by repeating small actions until they become reflex.
Founded by Frans Johansson, Sweet Joy Hachuela, Chantal Yang, and Kristian Ribberstrom, Medici Next ensures users don’t just acquire information, but rather learn “MOVES” that improve performance and spur lasting growth.
What distinguishes Medici Next from other AI-coaching or learning incumbents is the depth of its foundation. The company isn't inventing new leadership theories; it is productizing twenty years of rigorous innovation and high performance data gathered from some of the world's most demanding organizations - including the US Navy, Disney, Nike, and AstraZeneca.
Medici Next delivers this behavioral change through two core components:
MOVES: These are short, actionable behaviors that are tested with real individuals and teams around the world for effectiveness. Unlike a library of tips, each "MOVE" is specifically designed to be learned in minutes and applied immediately in real scenarios, e.g., meetings, difficult conversations, projects.
COSIMO: This is the intelligent delivery engine. It acts as an AI-powered coach that integrates into an employee’s or student’s workflow. It doesn't just provide generic advice; it leverages a proprietary taxonomy to recommend the MOVE needed for the specific context, ensuring that behavioral development is personalized and relevant. Moreover, COSIMO speaks 100+ languages natively.
Built by a team that spent two decades inside the world’s biggest organizations figuring out what actually changes behavior, Medici Next reflects a simple insight: People don’t change by consuming content. They change by repeating small actions until they become a reflex.
We’re thrilled to welcome the Medici Next team to the RevUp portfolio!
