Our Vision : An equitable future built on inclusive, lifelong access to skills and learning.
Our Mission: ​To help people get recognised for what they already know, so they can access new skills, qualifications, and opportunities.
​
Career paths are becoming increasingly lateral, dynamic, and unpredictable, but traditional systems are not moving at the same pace. As learners move across roles, sectors, and careers, our frameworks for recognising experience are falling behind.
​
Red Velvet AI removes barriers to upskill the future workforce.
We help education, training providers and skills assessment bodies recognise skills and knowledge, wherever they are gained. Our intelligent platform makes recognition faster, fairer, and more flexible, bridging the gap between learning and opportunity.
Who We Are.
At Red Velvet AI, we understand first-hand the challenges of navigating multiple careers and learning journeys.
Winnie began with studies in literature and economics, then shifted gears to software engineering through online courses and postgraduate study, always eager to adapt and explore new passions.
Jon brings a unique blend of expertise as a lawyer and accountant, currently expanding into psychology.
​
Our own experiences moving between fields and educational pathways revealed how difficult it can be to have prior learning and work experience recognised smoothly.
That’s why we founded Red Velvet AI: to make Recognition of Prior Learning faster, fairer, and more flexible, helping others unlock new opportunities without being held back by outdated processes.
Origin of The Name.
LLMs are like plain cakes: versatile foundations, but generic on their own. Real value comes from customisation. At Red Velvet AI, we turn that base into something meaningful, using proprietary data and tailored workflows to solve real-world problems. Like a red velvet cake, it’s the specific layers that make it stand out.
What We Value and How We Act.
1 / Relentless Curiosity
We leave no stone unturned. We’re driven by a deep curiosity to understand every corner of our customers’ world - from workflows to data flows. We dig in, ask questions, and explore the why behind the what, because real insight lives in the details.
3 / Compassionate Innovation
We innovate from empathy. Our solutions emerge from truly understanding the challenges faced by educators, administrators, and learners. We build tools that respect human wisdom, alleviate genuine pain points, and enhance natural workflows. Our measure of success isn't technical sophistication—it's the positive difference we make in people's daily experience.
5 / We Bake Good Cakes
Good tech is like good cake - balanced, layered, and made with care. We don’t ship half-baked features or sprinkle AI on top for the buzz. We take time to get the recipe right - mixing rigour, empathy, and creativity to deliver products that feel just right.
2 / Radical Transparency
AI that explains itself. We build systems you can trust - no black boxes, no magic tricks. Every recommendation is traceable, explainable, auditable, and backed by empirical evidence. In education, trust isn’t optional - it needs to be earned.
4 / Partners in Reinvention
We collaborate to create positive change. Through close partnerships with educators and administrators, we target the pain points that deserve disruption while strengthening what already works. We are committed to thoughtful innovation that solves real problems and unlocks new possibilities in education.
