Seppo

What Seppo does

Seppo is a Finnish B2B SaaS company that operates a gamification platform for corporate training and education, founded in 2010 by a Finnish teacher and headquartered in Helsinki as legal entity Lentävä Liitutaulu Oy. The platform transforms training and learning content into interactive, game-based experiences, serving organizations across more than 50 countries with 1,500+ organizational customers and over 4 million learners reached. Seppo markets to two primary segments: enterprise HR and corporate training buyers for use cases including onboarding, compliance, AI adoption readiness, and pay transparency simulation; and education and NGO sectors for classroom and curriculum activities.

The product portfolio centers on two platforms. The foundational Gamification Platform is browser-based with mobile player apps, supporting authoring by users themselves through features including GPS-based game boards, 360-degree image boards, multimodal task types (video, audio, photo, text), and a Content Library marketplace where creators can publish and monetize games. SeppoQ™, the newer workforce readiness intelligence platform launched in 2025, uses AI-facilitated simulations to measure how employees think, communicate, and make decisions in realistic workplace scenarios. Underpinning the authoring experience is SAIGE, the Seppo AI Game Engine, which generates questions, response alternatives, feedback, and images for learning games. A co-development partnership with SolidComp underpins SolidSafe, a 3D digital-twin-based safety training solution.

Seppo combines product-led growth with enterprise field sales. The freemium model offers a free Entry tier and a 14-day full-feature trial, enabling self-serve author adoption, while enterprise buyers convert through dedicated demo CTAs, quote-based pricing, and regional sales directors for Brazil and the Benelux. Revenue is generated through annual subscription licenses, content marketplace commissions, and custom enterprise agreements. The company is privately held, has raised approximately $1.5 million in disclosed funding across 2017 and 2022 rounds, operates without disclosed institutional control, and announced Mervi Pänkäläinen as CEO in September 2025 while founder Riku Alkio continues as Chief Future Learning Officer.

Core offering

Seppo sells a cloud-based gamified learning platform that lets organizations turn training, onboarding, and change initiatives into interactive game-based experiences, supported by a mobile player app and an AI Game Engine (SAIGE). It also sells SeppoQ™, a separate AI-facilitated simulation platform that measures workforce readiness through realistic workplace scenarios, plus the SolidSafe safety training solution built on 3D digital-twin environments.

Product overview

Seppo offers a portfolio of gamified learning and readiness solutions organized around two core platforms: the Seppo Gamification Platform and SeppoQ™ Workforce Readiness Intelligence. The Gamification Platform is the foundational product for creating interactive, game-based learning experiences (supporting video, audio, photo, text, 3D environments, and GPS-based maps), powered by the AI Game Engine (SAIGE) for AI-assisted game authoring. Within this platform, Seppo offers specialized solutions including SolidSafe (gamified safety training with 3D digital twins) and a library of ready-made game templates. SeppoQ™ is a newer, distinct AI-powered workforce readiness platform that uses simulation-based assessment to measure whether employees can actually apply skills in realistic scenarios. Both platforms target business clients (HR, corporate training) and educational/NGO sectors across 50+ countries.
