With over two decades of experience in software, app, and web development, the team aims to create ethical digital solutions. Their mission aligns with the growing demand for energy-efficient and socially responsible tech.

“At Seedable Studio, we’re all about building digital solutions that push tech forward responsibly,” said UX Director Melin Edomwonyi. “Our digital future with AI shouldn’t be just about working smarter or faster. It should be about being considerate. That means creating energy-efficient tech that is people-friendly and good for the planet.”

A Strategic Investment in Sustainable Digital Innovation

Investor David Jones, known for developing groundbreaking games such as Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings, sees great potential in the startup.

“Seedable Studio started as a full-stack core team that worked well together within a larger organisation,” said Jones. “I saw real potential for them to thrive as an agile, independent company, with full control over their direction.”

“The team is fantastic to work with, covering all key areas needed to hit the ground running. They remain 100% committed to their first customers and projects. They take the time to understand a client’s culture, mission, and goals. This helps solidify these foundations where any gaps exist.”

Jones also highlighted the team’s potential for long-term growth. “As the digital world evolves rapidly, I believe Seedable Studio will continue to grow through sustainable digital innovation. Gamification, AI, platforms, and culturisation are shaping the future of digital products. The team, alongside its advisors, is committed to staying at the forefront of these advancements.”

Gamification for a Sustainable Future

One of Seedable Studio’s key differentiators is its focus on gamification. This concept enhances user engagement and encourages behavior change in non-gaming sectors.

Their technically brilliant team is set to redefine how businesses connect with their audiences in an impactful and sustainable way. I’m excited to support their journey as they scale and bring this vision to life.”
