As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the challenge is no longer just automating tasks but finding ways to make people and businesses more capable. ElevenX Capital is investing in that shift, building companies that apply AI across education, healthcare, and enterprise technology.
Founded in 2014 by General Partner Anjli Jain, ElevenX Capital operates as both a venture capital fund and a venture studio. Based in Miami, the firm invests in and builds businesses across sectors including education and workforce technology, cybersecurity, healthcare, human performance, food, and nutrition.
Rather than limiting its role to providing capital, ElevenX takes an active approach to company building. Its model combines investment with operational support, helping businesses develop products, establish internal processes, recruit leadership, and work toward profitability and eventual exits.
From education technology to venture building
Jain’s approach to investing is rooted in her experience at the intersection of education and technology. In 2003, she began working with Campus Consortium, a nonprofit organization that helped universities collaborate and share enterprise technology infrastructure.
That experience exposed her to the challenges educational institutions face when adopting new technologies and modernizing their operations. It also shaped her view that capital alone is rarely enough to help companies scale.
ElevenX developed its venture-building operations around that premise. The firm has an operating presence in Gurgaon, India, where it works with entrepreneurs and operators through its venture studio.
Its proprietary operating system, XOS, is designed to support companies throughout different stages of development, from formation to exit. The firm also operates EXC Managed Services, which provides back-office support in areas such as recruitment, finance, and legal operations.
This structure allows ElevenX to work across both investment and execution, providing portfolio companies with resources that extend beyond traditional venture capital.
An AI strategy centered on human capabilities
ElevenX’s investment thesis is built around what it calls a ProHuman approach to artificial intelligence. The idea is to develop technology that enhances human capabilities rather than treating workforce replacement as the primary measure of progress.
Jain has argued that businesses should focus on how AI can improve the performance of employees and institutions. In a recent interview with Forbes Business Council, she described the importance of designing systems that help people develop skills and work more effectively.
The firm applies this perspective across its portfolio, which includes companies operating in education, enterprise software, cybersecurity, and healthcare.
Among them is Unifyed, which develops software solutions for educational institutions, and QuickLaunch, which focuses on digital identity and access management. BlackBeltHelp provides help desk and technical support services, incorporating AI into its customer support operations.
Other companies in the portfolio include IvySchool.ai, an education technology platform; EXC, a growth-stage technology and software company; and Longevityy.ai, an initiative exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and longevity.
ElevenX’s investment history also includes businesses that have since been acquired. OculusIT, a provider of mission-critical IT services for higher education, was acquired by Avathon Capital in April 2025. Milkbasket, an Indian grocery delivery platform, has also been acquired. Unifyed received backing from ElevenX alongside EVC Ventures.
The range of companies reflects the firm’s interest in applying technology to established industries, where improvements in infrastructure, access to information, and service delivery can have a direct impact on how organizations operate.
Beyond its investments, ElevenX also emphasizes developing the people responsible for running its companies. Through its operating model and XForce initiative, the firm seeks to connect professionals with mentorship, practical experience, and opportunities to move into strategic leadership roles.
As AI changes the skills required across industries, companies still need people who can manage operations, make decisions, understand customers, and translate technology into business outcomes. For ElevenX, building companies also means building teams capable of adapting to technological change.
The firm’s strategy reflects a broader question facing the venture capital industry: as AI becomes more accessible, where will sustainable business value come from? ElevenX is betting that the answer will not be limited to developing more powerful systems, but to applying them in ways that expand what people and organizations can achieve.
