Qridi

What Qridi does

Qridi Ltd is a Finnish EdTech company headquartered in Oulu, founded in 2015 by CEO Henri Karjalainen and CTO Lasse Koskela. The company builds digital learning portfolio software that makes student transversal skills visible through image, audio, video, and text evidence capture, self-assessment frameworks, and skill-tagging aligned to curriculum outcomes. Its core products are Qridi Learning Portfolio (a general K-12 platform), Qridi Core (a specialized platform for International Baccalaureate World Schools supporting PYP, MYP, and DP programmes with collaborative planning, curriculum mapping, data dashboards, and grade books), and Qridi Sport (a sports coaching platform built on the same core). Co-created with Dr. Christine Orkisz Lang, an original co-author of the IB PYP, the platform bundles ready-made portfolio structures for IB frameworks (PYP Exhibition, MYP Personal Project, DP Extended Essay), STEAM, Design Cycle, and Inquiry Learning Cycle, and exposes a 220-indicator Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills library spanning PYP grades.

Qridi distributes through separate multi-stakeholder interfaces for teachers, students, parents/guardians, and school leadership, supported by iOS/Android apps and a web console. The technology stack integrates with Power BI for school-level analytics and with the Wilma Finnish school administration system for grade transfer. The company is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, certifications it explicitly cites as procurement gates for large international school networks.

Qridi operates a B2B SaaS business model, selling annual quote-based subscriptions to schools and educational organizations and offering fully white-labeled deployments for school networks (e.g., the BISAD Diploma for British International School Abu Dhabi). The company claims 100,000+ users across 400+ schools and 20+ countries, with 20% penetration of Finnish comprehensive schools. Its go-to-market combines product-led free demos and pilots, direct enterprise sales to international school networks (Nord Anglia Education spanning 27 schools), partner distribution through Sanoma Pro in Finland, and content marketing via educational articles and gated downloads. Major partnerships include Nord Anglia Education, Boston College (research), Sanoma Pro, HEI Schools, and a June 2026 licensing collaboration with the International Baccalaureate under IB's Innovation Pathway Partnership Programme. The company is self-funded with no disclosed external investment.
