What hetki.io does

hetki.io is a Helsinki-based AI mentoring platform that serves Nordic senior executives, including C-level leaders, with structured, AI-augmented one-to-one mentoring. Founded in early 2024, the company operates as a bootstrapped private business with an 11-person team and has onboarded more than 400 executives and completed over 2,000 mentoring sessions, reporting a 96% satisfaction rate and an average rating of 5.85 out of 6. Its customer base spans a diverse mix of industries including maritime, media, IT, fashion, hospitality, and finance, indicating deliberate breadth across the Nordic senior-executive segment rather than vertical concentration.

The platform's core product is the AI Mentoring Program, an 8-module curriculum delivered across three phases, supported by two named proprietary AI agents: Navigator, which structures the program journey, and Edge, which retains personalized executive context across sessions. Layered on top of this individual delivery model is the AI Think Tank, a peer community launched in March 2025 that allows senior executives to engage cohort-based discussion grounded in their AI mentoring context. A lighter-weight AI Discovery Call product serves as an entry point for prospective executives, with the company also offering gift / freemium sessions to broaden top-of-funnel reach.

The business model is a multi-phase executive subscription, sold primarily to individual senior leaders rather than via large enterprise contracts, supplemented by a freemium discovery layer and, as of October 2025, a B2B2C distribution partnership with SAM Headhunting Oy that channels executives from executive search engagements into the platform. The company is headquartered in Helsinki, operates out of a new office opened in March 2025, and has not disclosed external funding, pricing, or revenue figures.
