Videobot is a Finnish SaaS company founded in 2022 that builds video-based chatbots to engage website visitors. The product combines interactive chatbot elements with short video content to create a more natural, human experience than text-driven chatbots. The company positions itself to capitalize on the shift to video, citing that video makes up 80% of internet traffic and that over 70% of people prefer learning about products via video. Since founding, Videobot has grown to over 200 customers across 15 countries, including enterprise clients such as a major Nordic bank and large telecom companies in the Nordics. The founders, Anssi Kiviranta and Matias Mäenpää, aim to scale rapidly and have stated ambitions to build a unicorn-level company. Medium-term goals include reaching 1,000 customers, €3 million in annual billing, and a 50-person team by the end of 2024, with expansion plans focused on Europe and the US.
