Saplo AB, founded in 2008 in Malmo, Sweden, established itself as a specialized provider of text analytics solutions. The company was the brainchild of Mattias Tyrberg, a serial entrepreneur who launched several ventures after his university studies. Saplo's inception was driven by the increasing need for organizations to understand and process the vast amounts of unstructured text data being generated across digital platforms.
The firm developed a suite of semantic tools designed to mimic human comprehension of text, enabling clients to extract valuable insights from large data collections. Its core business revolved around a text analysis API with several key services. These included 'Saplo Tags' for entity extraction (identifying people, organizations, and locations), 'Saplo Sentiment' for evaluating emotional tone, 'Saplo Match' for finding related content, and 'Saplo Context' for predicting text relevance based on specific interests. The business model targeted developers and organizations, offering its technology through an API and custom services. Early clients included prominent Swedish media outlets like Sydsvenskan.
Financially, Saplo secured approximately $650K in funding from investors including the accelerator Minc and the Swedish government agency Vinnova. A significant seed round of $500K was raised on May 27, 2010. The company's work gained recognition, with founder Mattias Tyrberg being named a finalist for Sweden's Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2009. After several years of operation, Saplo was acquired by Strossle, a content discovery platform, on August 31, 2015, marking a successful exit for the founders and investors.
