The Origin Story

Our three founders: Alexander Knechtl, Florian Gerstner & Fabio Moretti founded their first company called SeekInnovation OG. Their mission? Build software that feels good and is immediately understood.

As a first contract, SeekInnovation OG developed a learning platform for insurance agents and financial advisors. The requirement was to create an app and a website that was immediately understood, with a learning algorithm that would ensure that students succeed.

Many companies took notice of the trio. Fabio was a technical genius, always ready with a solution for any problem. Florian was the creative force, adept at simplifying and beautifully presenting complex issues. Alex, a perfectionist, acted as the crucial link between technology and design, ensuring outstanding results.

In just two years, SeekInnovation OG completed over 25 software projects and expanded its team by hiring 7 employees. During this period, a significant trend emerged: an increasing number of companies were in need of a learning platform that could be systematically used to train both employees and customers.

April 2021

In April 2021, after building 5 learning platforms for other companies, we founded LearningSuite GmbH (LearningSuite FlexCo since 2024) and went all in on e-learning.

In just three months, we developed an interactive design prototype. Our objective: to create a versatile learning platform suitable for any application, be it for a company, coach, or school. A key feature of this platform is its content editor, designed to be so intuitive that anyone can understand and use it immediately.

June 2021

Our interactive prototype quickly convinced 6 customers that LearningSuite was the future of e-learning. Backed by a development budget of more than €250,000, we started building LearningSuite at the end of June 2021, after a long planning phase.

Having already built 5 platforms, this time we knew exactly how to turn LearningSuite into a product that meets our own high standards.

February 2022

Finally, the moment had come: after months of work, we released the first beta of LearningSuite. Within a few weeks, it had its first hundred users.

However, the journey wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Our development budget of €250,000 was nearly depleted. We urgently needed a plan. We held various meetings with funding and investor advisors, but the feedback we received was sobering. According to them, finding an investor for our scale would take at least nine months. But our goal was different; we aimed to secure an investor within just eight weeks.

March 2022

Following numerous sleepless nights and extensive discussions with potential investors, we had the opportunity to meet Andreas and Markus Baulig at an event organized by LoftFilm in Munich, which took place in March 2022.

We presented LearningSuite to Andreas and Markus Baulig, and within minutes, they were thoroughly impressed with our solution. As the managing directors of one of Germany's largest digital management consultancies, they had a keen understanding of what's crucial in a learning platform. The very next day, we flew to Koblenz with them. After several days of negotiations, we reached a decision to collaborate and scale LearningSuite to its full potential.

April 2022

The deal was legally finalized in April. The Baulig brothers officially became investors and partners in LearningSuite.

In the months that followed, we dedicated our full focus to transforming LearningSuite into a scalable SaaS product, perfecting it with the invaluable feedback from the Bauligs.

September 2022

🚀 LearningSuite Release

LearningSuite officially launched on September 15, and the launch was a huge success. In the first week alone, more than 200 companies joined our waiting list, and we sold our first 15 premium instances right away.

In just two months, we received around 1,000 contact inquiries through our website and have successfully sold to more than 80 high-value customers, accounting for over 100 instances of LearningSuite. The feedback from our customers is unequivocal: They love LearningSuite.

On October 28, 2022, Florian gave a live demonstration of LearningSuite on stage at the Top Employer Congress in Hamburg in front of 600 entrepreneurs. You can watch the video of the presentation on our homepage or our YouTube channel.

April 2023

On April 27, 2023, just half a year after the official release, we had our first live event in Koblenz, Germany, exclusively for our customers. More than 80 customers came from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to take part in the event.

As a software company, why do we organize a live customer event? Because it's the best way to get in touch with our customers directly, gather suggestions for improvement and understand what they really expect from our software. With top presentations on the topic of e-learning by us and invited experts, we were able to offer a lot of added value and answer individual questions.

December 2023

2023 was an incredible year: we shipped more than 25 new features and won hundreds of companies in German-speaking countries as customers.

We also managed to double our team size within a single year. On top of that, LearningSuite is one of the few SaaS software companies that is 100% self-funded and profitable.

May 2024
