Sumo Apps

Sumo Apps is a Helsinki, Finland-based startup founded in 2008, with a focus on providing creative tools for curious minds. With a suite of web-based tools such as Sumopaint, Sumotunes, Sumo3d, Sumovideo, Sumophoto, and Sumocode, it aims to boost creativity without the need for expensive programs or heavy bandwidth use. The company's gamified apps are designed for easy learning and teaching to make creative potential accessible to everyone. In 2012, Sumo was selected as a featured app for the Google platform. In 2016, it surpassed 30 million unique users, and recently, it received a $1.15M Seed Round investment in April 2022. Notably, two new initiatives are underway: supporting teachers in fostering their students' digital creativity and offering creative professionals a cost-effective alternative to expensive, bulky creative suites.
