London-based upskilling scaleup Multiverse has launched Mastry, a platform it says will handle a company’s entire AI workforce transformation, from diagnosing skills gaps to proving results. The company unveiled the product on 14 October 2026 at its Workforce 2030 conference in London.
Multiverse, founded by Euan Blair in 2016, says many large employers currently pay for AI adoption three separate times: once to buy the tools, again to hire a consultancy to plan the rollout, and a third time for training that fails to join up the other two. Mastry is designed to bring all three steps onto one platform.
How the platform works
According to Multiverse, Mastry operates in three stages. First, an AI voice agent holds a short conversation with each employee about their role and working methods, giving leaders a map of capability across the organisation against business goals. Second, the platform builds an individual learning plan based on business needs and existing skills, using the employee’s actual work as training material. This stage involves Mae, Multiverse’s AI guide, which the company says works inside tools staff already use, including Claude and Microsoft Copilot, offering live guidance and logging evidence of new skills as they are applied. Third, Mastry gives leaders visibility of progress across teams so they can report on the impact of their AI investment.
Multiverse says Mastry can be used standalone or alongside its existing apprenticeships, which continue to be delivered with human coaches, with both run through the same platform. Employers will be able to fund either route through the Growth and Skills Levy or on a commercial basis.
What the company is saying
Jay Richman, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Multiverse, said the platform was built to sit inside employees’ actual work rather than compete with it, so that Mae can see the task in front of someone, help them complete it, and record what they learned, giving leaders evidence of real change rather than hours of training completed.
Euan Blair, founder and chief executive, said companies have bought AI tools but most still lack a workforce able to use them effectively, and that until now employers have had to rely on external consultants with results that often failed to materialise. He said Multiverse’s approach is to build that expertise across the workforce directly, drawing on its experience training staff on the job and data from hundreds of thousands of workplace projects.
UK context and next steps
Multiverse describes itself as Europe’s largest apprenticeship provider, having trained more than 40,000 people across over 1,000 organisations, including NHS trusts, BT and KPMG, with learners generating more than £2bn in ROI for employers, according to the company. It has teams in the UK and Germany and is backed by investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Index Ventures and General Catalyst. In 2026 it raised a strategic funding round with Schroders Capital at an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the company said.
Mastry is available now to eligible development partners through a waitlist, with Multiverse targeting a full launch in early 2027. UK employers already using Multiverse’s apprenticeship schemes, including those funded via the Growth and Skills Levy, are likely to be among the first able to access the platform. What to watch next is how many UK organisations join the development waitlist before the 2027 launch, and whether Multiverse publishes any independent evidence of Mastry’s impact once early access customers begin using it.
