Key people at Clanbeat.
Clanbeat is an Estonian ed-tech startup founded in 2018 that develops a mobile app empowering students and teachers to promote well-being, self-directed learning, and mental health through personalized growth tools.[1][4][5] The platform serves schools, students (primarily youth), and educators, addressing challenges like mental health crises, stress management, and the need for lifelong learning skills in a complex world by enabling goal-setting, action planning, reflection, and community support.[1][2][6] It solves problems of youth mental health gaps—exacerbated by COVID-19—by providing data-backed, systematic tools for self-awareness, emotional learning, and access to services, with features like real-time mental health mapping and a marketplace for providers.[2][5] Clanbeat has achieved strong growth, capturing 40% of the Estonian school market, reaching 720 schools worldwide (mainly Northern Europe and Southeast Asia), and securing over €1 million in funding from investors like Japan's Mistletoe.[1][2]
Clanbeat was co-founded in late 2015 (with formal establishment around 2018) in Tallinn, Estonia, by Kadri Tuisk (CEO), alongside partners Tiina Pauklin, Christjan Schumann, Triin Noorkõiv, and initially Raimond Sass, who spotted Tuisk's expertise in personal development from her time at Pipedrive.[1][3] Tuisk's background in organizational culture and personal growth drove the idea: starting as a tool for startups to enable meaningful 1-on-1s and team development, it pivoted three times—first to broader personal growth, then to student well-being amid the COVID-19 mental health crisis, and now to a comprehensive platform for educators and learners.[2][3] Early traction came from co-creation with clients, like Singapore schools (despite government build preferences), leading to paying customers on a yearly subscription model; a pivotal €1m raise in 2019 from Taizo and Mistletoe aligned with its human-centered vision, fueling expansion.[1][3]
Clanbeat rides the ed-tech and mental health tech wave, targeting the global youth mental health crisis—intensified by pandemics and complexity—where interventions could yield economic savings but often fail due to overburdened systems.[2][6] Timing is ideal post-COVID, with Estonia's high government-private cooperation providing a testbed for scalable solutions, enabling quick pivots and pilots like real-time mapping.[2] Market forces favor it: rising demand for SEL (social-emotional learning), self-directed lifelong learning (echoing Sir Ken Robinson's ideas), and tech bypassing traditional barriers, especially in Northern Europe, SE Asia, and now the UK.[1][2][3] It influences the ecosystem by partnering for marketplaces, co-creating with ministries, and promoting preventive well-being, potentially unlocking next-gen potential amid 720-school adoption.[2]
Clanbeat is poised for UK expansion after dominating Estonia, with ambitions to deliver mental health self-help to every child via broader platform features and global marketplaces.[2] Trends like AI-personalized ed-tech, SEL mandates, and post-pandemic wellness priorities will propel it, especially if it scales co-creation and data tools amid workforce wellness demands.[6][7] Its influence may evolve from niche student app to ecosystem shaper, humanizing education in a self-directed future—echoing its founding mission to nurture balanced, passionate individuals driving real change.[1][3]
