The company also maintains five publicly distributed resource notebooks (covering curated learning apps, prototyping, mobile design, brainstorming, and AI for learning) that function as content marketing and thought leadership assets.

Davis, WHYY, the American Red Cross, the American Lung Association, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and The DBQ Project.

The company supports 5.4M+ learners and 4M+ users annually across its solutions, generating tens of millions of annual interactions. Sealworks employs 1–10 people, is co-founded and led by Nick Floro (recipient of The Learning Guild's Guild Master Award), and is independently owned with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or acquisition activity.

• EI Design: EI Design is a custom eLearning development and instructional design company that competes with Sealworks on bespoke course development and learning design services, especially for technology and enterprise clients.

Direct peers

• SweetRush: SweetRush is a custom learning design and development studio serving Fortune 500 clients with bespoke eLearning, LXPs, and adaptive learning — directly comparable to Sealworks' project-based custom L&D service model.
