Transforming Corporate Training with AI: A Conversation with Stan Suchkov
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Stan Suchkov, CEO and Co-Founder of Evolve, an AI-driven platform revolutionizing how businesses onboard and train their teams. Stan shares the inspiring journey behind Evolve—from a bold vision and early setbacks to launching a transformative tool that automates learning programs in under 24 hours. This conversation explores the future of online learning, the role of AI, and how a “give first” mindset can accelerate growth and innovation.
The Mindset Behind Evolve: Giving First and Thinking Strategically
Stan Suchkov attributes much of his success to a personal and professional commitment to “giving first.” By helping others without expectation, he built a strong network and leadership reputation grounded in generosity. He applies this same philosophy to customer relationships and team dynamics—putting value first to earn trust and long-term loyalty.
He also draws strategic inspiration from games like Monopoly, where success hinges on early positioning, negotiation, and risk management. These ideas translated into his real-world entrepreneurial journey: selling his share in a construction business to fund Evolve, enduring over two years with no revenue, and constantly refining the product through feedback and adaptability.
Today, Evolve is used by major companies across industries, offering tools that automatically convert a company’s internal materials—videos, slides, PDFs—into interactive, trackable training programs within 24 hours. With built-in assessments, reporting, and feedback features, Evolve gives organizations a scalable way to upskill and engage teams fast.
About Stan Suchkov
Stan Suchkov is the CEO and Co-Founder of Evolve, an AI platform that creates onboarding and training programs from any type of document in as little as 24 hours. He’s also the founder of the AI Corporate University in MENA and a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in IT and real estate development. Stan has led over 30 projects across various stages of growth and is widely regarded as a thought leader in AI-powered education solutions.
About Evolve

Founded in 2023 and launched in the U.S. in 2024, Evolve allows businesses to upload nearly any training content—PDFs, PPTs, audio, video—and launch custom interactive courses by the next day. The platform includes quizzes, tasks, automated grading, and comprehensive learner feedback, helping businesses stay competitive through rapid, smart learning solutions.
