About Us ✨

At Komodo, we’re on a mission that we’re pretty honoured to have. We work with the most inspiring schools across the globe to enable them with a wellbeing-first approach. Our ultimate aim? To ensure every school is a place in which everyone thrives. We have a burning desire to help schools implement the best mental health and wellbeing practices, support every student & staff member on their journey to unlocking their true potential and give all parents the peace of mind they deserve. With our software and wraparound services, we provide deep insight into the heartbeat of schools, enabling staff to be proactive and make the best decisions when it comes to school wellbeing.

We enable schools to measure the effectiveness of their wellbeing strategies, highlight critical wellbeing issues and provide every student & staff member with a voice when they need it most. The work we do on a daily basis, whether it be the code we write, the customer support we provide or the psychology embedded within our product, it all goes toward preventing a child from being bullied, highlighting someone in need of support or making a school a safer, happier place for all. This is what drives us.

Founded and headquartered in Christchurch, New Zealand, we currently have a team of 14 based in our HQ. You will be our second UAE-based (fully remote) employee, alongside our existing sales member!
