Wibo

Wibo is an Italian corporate training company that designs learning programmes for HR and Learning & Development functions. Its offering is organised around three activities: mapping an organisation's tasks, processes and competencies; delivering live training programmes built around client business goals; and identifying and implementing AI use cases in business processes, measuring the working time freed up. Training is delivered as tailor-made "Academies" that combine human skills (leadership, feedback culture, difficult conversations, active listening, negotiation, change management, resilience) with AI skills.

Programs are run in small groups and typically open with a live session led by senior executives from large international companies, whose accounts are then converted into simulations, role-play, guided exercises and targeted questions facilitated by trainers with corporate backgrounds. The company states its method draws on Kolb's cycle and experiential learning, with a significant live and interactive component delivered by pairs of Executive Teachers and professional trainers rather than recorded content. Example engagements described by the company include a change-management programme supporting a complex corporate integration, a cross-cultural leadership path for managers in the Mediterranean & Africa region, an intrapreneurship programme for 60 senior managers across four continents, and an experiential sales bootcamp for roughly 100 promoters.

Founding story

Wibo was founded at the end of 2020 in Turin by Tommaso Seita and Alessandro Busso, former high-school classmates in the city. The name was generated by a random word generator when the pair were asked to name their early-stage project at a 2020 trade fair and has no particular meaning. The company began as a reward-based mobile quiz game app modelled on television-style general-knowledge tournaments with Amazon voucher prizes.

Business model

B2B services: companies, principally through their HR and L&D teams, commission tailor-made academies, mapping engagements and AI-implementation projects. An earlier iteration of the offering was a Leadership Academy sold as a membership combining synchronous sessions and micro-learning for managers and prospective managers.

Revenue derives from corporate clients purchasing training programmes and related services; an earlier format was sold as a membership-based Leadership Academy.

Traction

The company reports more than 14,500 participants as of June 2025 and states on its site that over 15,000 people have been trained since 2019, with a 94% average satisfaction level, a 98% completion rate and 92% of participants applying what they learned immediately. It says it is used by over 150 companies in Italy and abroad. Client testimonials cite staff at Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Airbnb, Alessi, Toyota, easyJet and Juice.

Latest developments

In June 2025 the company closed a €500,000 round backed by a group of business leaders, Talent Garden and Techstars, intended to fund five new hires within three months, senior AI talent, integration of AI content into its training areas, consolidation of its Italian market presence and development of its proprietary platform. Its site promotes an HR Transformation Day scheduled for 20 October 2026 and cites its own Future Skills Research dated 2026.
