The Story

How Kleveroo Actually Started

Ever since COVID, one of the biggest challenges I faced as a sales leader was keeping strong team camaraderie alive in a remote environment. When everyone stopped being in the office together, I realized how much connection, energy, and team bonding actually mattered.

So I started creating custom Jeopardy-style games for my sales teams during lunch roundups and team meetings. I would split reps into mini teams and let them battle it out in fun competitions that helped everyone connect more naturally.

Some reps became known for certain categories, and sometimes I intentionally created categories around newer reps just so they could become the hero of that round. Those games helped break the ice, boost morale, and create stronger relationships across the team. Eventually, my teams started looking forward to these afternoon energizers.

That’s when I started thinking:

  • What if these games could be easier to create?
  • What if they looked cooler?
  • What if they could combine learning, training, and fun all in one platform?

After struggling to find the perfect solution, I decided to build it myself.

Even with very little coding experience, I worked hard to create something my teams would genuinely love using.

What started as a tool for my sales teams eventually grew into something much bigger.

Today, Kleveroo is built for classrooms, teachers, sales teams, students, friends, family game nights, and anyone looking to bring people together through fun competition and interactive learning.
