The Story
The idea for Arlo was born from founder and CEO John Mitchell's vision in 2007 for an easier way to manage training – a tool that could streamline administration, grow registrations and transform the way training was done forever. Like all good start-up stories begin, John set up an office in his garage – not in Silicon Valley, but right here in the Hutt Valley – creating a world-leading all-in-one training management platform that handles everything from course creation and scheduling to delivery and operations.
The Numbers
Customers in 70+ countries with 7.5M+ people trained
$3B in course transactions processed
Team of 60, with 40 in NZ and the rest in North America & UK
HQ in Petone with offices in Vancouver & London
Plot Twist
Education is a powerful agent of change, and improves health and livelihoods, contributes to social stability and drives long-term economic growth. Arlo's software is used for training in a variety of industries and professions – including paramedics, elderly home care, first aid training and software engineers who are building the future. Their HQ sits in a once fire-damaged building on Petone Esplanade that sat empty for years – many Wellington locals will remember it as John's Fish Market, now it's John Mitchell's Arlo!
The Good Stuff
They have a qualified sports masseuse in the office on Tuesdays offering 30-minute massages to all staff! Their Petone HQ boasts epic views of the harbour and the perfect spot for a lunchtime wharf jump in summer (or winter if you're brave enough). Arlo helps training providers save time, grow revenue and deliver exceptional learning at scale – loved by thousands of trainers and millions of learners worldwide.
They're hiring! Check out three senior engineering roles that will play key roles in Arlo's next phase of growth – global expansion, deepening AI capabilities, and empowering a passionate community of training professionals. Hit up Arlo at www.arlo.co/careers.
From a Hutt Valley garage to 70+ countries and $3B in transactions – these Petone legends prove that you don't need Silicon Valley when you've got harbour views and a vision to transform professional training.
