Our Mission is to Close the Diversity and Critical Skills Gaps in the Cyber Security Workforce
Results-driven. Education. Leaders
When it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion, companies in the science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) industries are making strides, but multiple barriers to starting a career in these tech fields still exist. One of those is accessible education, something that many marginalized would-be tech professionals often don’t have access to. This is something that Chrysallis.AI Cofounder and CEO Anna London is passionate about changing. She started her US-based company in response to her own experience in the field of cybersecurity and education.
Her experience as a tech professional made her want to go into teaching to bring more marginalized people into STEAM and cyber security. However, once she began teaching at North Carolina State University, the University of Florida, and Flatiron School, she realized connecting with women and students of color wasn’t enough. Her students were still not engaging with the material and often admitted to having imposter syndrome because they didn’t feel comfortable asking questions. In order to help students better engage and learn, Chrysallis.AI was born as a metaverse learning platform that uses augmented and virtual reality to help students and adults learn skills in cyber security through an experiential learning model. The company’s mission is to support marginalized learners with its “metaversity" and fill over 1M open cyber security positions currently open in the US and an estimated 3.5M open cyber jobs worldwide. In addition, the US Congress just passed a $1.8T budget to support critical infrastructure protections which includes filling the critical skills needs gap in the cyber security workforce. The SaaS platform is geared toward meeting cybersecurity learning objectives for entry-level through advanced as well as Executive Leadership CISO/CTO level learning tracks. We also cater to the startup ecosystem by helping founders with securing their applications and meet governance, risk, and compliance objectives to avoid costly and embarrassing data breaches. Unlike other learning platforms, Chrysallis.AI uses machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to adjust curriculums to the pace of individual students. The platform utilizes fluid analytics, adaptive learning, and gamification to make education fun and more impactful. This also makes the platform more engaging by offering alternative education models that are specific to each student, increasing the odds that they finish modules.
Chrysallis.AI recently graduated from the Founder Institute, and a Techstars Catalyst Washington D.C. cohort and joined the AWS Reach Program.
Chrysallis.AI is also working with colleges, universities, trade schools, and employer organizations that offer adult upskilling and currently has its Metaversity SaaS model open for purchase by enterprises and individuals.

“As a woman in the cybersecurity [and] technology industry with 30 years of experience, I noticed a huge gender and racial diversity gap. I found myself as the only woman on an all-male cyber security and IT engineering team frequently in my career, so I wanted to do something about it by encouraging other females and people of color to join the ranks in STEAM and cybersecurity-related careers.”
