KI Profis

What KI Profis does

KI Profis is a German AI training and enablement company that operates as a civil-law partnership (GbR) between co-founders Florian Schenkel and Frederik Ambaum, headquartered in Rosenheim. The firm specializes in delivering subsidized AI continuing education to small and mid-sized German enterprises (Mittelstand), structured around its flagship AI Enabler program — a 36-week curriculum of three sequential modules (KI-Kompetenz, KI-Prototyping, KI-Transformation) that trains employees to build and operate AI workflows on their company's real processes, with workflows going live during the program. To date the company reports more than 15,000 participants trained through a network of 15+ trainers, including practitioners serving as interim Chief AI Officers in active Mittelstand and corporate engagements.

The core product is delivered in-house at client sites or live online via Microsoft Teams and teaches the use of third-party AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini) alongside workflow automation platforms such as n8n and Make. There is no proprietary AI technology; the company's value sits in curriculum design, trainer expertise, the EU AI Act compliance module, and full-service administration of the German Qualifizierungschancengesetz (QCG) subsidy, which reimburses up to 100% of training costs and up to 75% of participant salaries through the Bundesagentur für Arbeit.

Commercially, KI Profis runs a sales-led, fee-for-service model targeting German SMEs (10–500 employees), with companies under 50 employees eligible for the maximum subsidy tier. Lead generation runs through the company's own website (capacity and funding calculators, discovery call booking via zeeg.me), supplemented by LinkedIn presence, industry events such as AI Experience Day 2025, and referral networks. The firm appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
