What Odilo does

Odilo is a Spanish EdTech company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Cartagena, Spain, that operates a cloud-based SaaS platform enabling organizations to build their own Unlimited Learning ecosystems. Its platform aggregates over 4 million multi-format resources (e-books, audiobooks, courses, videos, podcasts, press, magazines, and applications) from more than 7,300 content providers and serves an end-user base of 170 million+ across 52 countries on five continents, delivered through 1,000+ white-labeled customer learning platforms. The underlying technology combines a multi-tenant SaaS architecture built on AWS infrastructure with AI-driven personalization, gamification mechanics, offline access, and a centralized ODILO BI analytics dashboard that records engagement and learning data across all users on a customer's platform.

The product surface is organized around a core Unlimited Learning Ecosystem, supplemented by modular add-ons including ODILO BI (analytics), ODILO Learning Factory (on-demand custom content production), professional services, and a Digital Archive and Preservation module certified under ISO 16363 and ISO 17068. Odilo addresses six primary customer verticals through dedicated platform configurations: governments and public school networks, private schools, corporations and workplace learning, universities, business schools, and public libraries and cultural organizations. Anchor enterprise customers include MTN (14,000+ employees across 20 African and Middle Eastern countries), Nestlé (200,000+ employees globally with 20,000+ resources across 15 languages), Hospes Hotels, Iberdrola, Pichincha, and regional governments such as the Canary Islands and Catalonia.

Odilo monetizes primarily through recurring enterprise and institutional subscriptions for platform access, augmented by professional services (onboarding, content curation, dedicated account management) and content aggregation/distribution economics bundled into the SaaS license. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven, with active event participation in major global education and HR conferences (BETT, Learning Technologies, HR Indaba, Education World Forum, Back to School Summit) and dedicated LATAM expansion following a $64 million growth round led by Bregal Milestone in June 2022. The company carries an unusually comprehensive set of security, privacy, accessibility, and compliance certifications, including ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701/27032/22301, ENS High Category, NIS2, and UNE-EN 301549, which are central to its public-sector and education procurement positioning.
