Three years ago, Lydia joined a major fintech as a junior engineer. Due to a lack of structured learning, unclear delegation, and minimal growth guidance from seniors, she eventually resigned this year. We're tackling the massive employee retention problem for companies by solving the broken career development process. With only 19% of employees satisfied with current training options, and 94% willing to stay longer for better career investment, the market is desperate for a real solution. Semis is an all-in-one platform for professional growth. This unique approach directly boosts retention from 27% to 57% and increases profitability by 24%. By integrating scheduling, communication, and AI-powered video sessions, we provide a seamless experience for both employees and managers as well as trainers. Semis provides an all-in-one environment for organisations, learning communities, and teams to: - Pair junior employees with senior mentors - Help companies uncover the cost they spend on retaining talent and losing them. - Manage professional growth and knowledge transfer - Facilitate training sessions, discussions, and workshops for mentoring programmes. - Track employee development progress and satisfaction metrics - Consolidate tools like Slack, Deel, SeamlessHR, Zoom, and Calendly into one integrated experience Who is Semis from? 1. Enterprises 2. International Organisations 3. NGOs 4. Companies invested in knowledge sharing Our Ask? Join our private beta and design partner programme.

@ato1  This is such an important problem, junior talent doesn’t leave because they lack ability, they leave because they lack structure, mentorship, and a clear path forward. Lydia’s story is way too common, especially in fast-moving tech and fintech environments.

Love that Semis isn’t just “another training tool” but actually tackles the full system: pairing juniors with seniors, tracking growth, facilitating sessions, and consolidating scattered tools. The retention jump you mentioned is huge and honestly, it aligns with what so many companies overlook: people stay where they feel invested in.

Curious how you’re thinking about personalisation, will AI adapt development plans to each employee’s role, strengths, and long-term goals?

Excited to see where you take this. The space desperately needs a solution that finally treats career development as a first-class product

@fernando_scharnick Thanks, Fernando. I don't know how I missed your comment, so glad that I found it. Yes, you rightly mentioned so, for development plans. The HR or Learning development personnel simply need to upload their employees' training needs or reviews to our system for a suitable training recommendation per gap analysed. Happy to walk you through if this is something you want to deploy across your organisation.

I’m Tolulade, and for the last few months, I’ve been building Semis, a platform that helps organisations understand their people deeply: employee intelligence, mentorship, networking, training needs analysis, learning needs analysis, and automated insights that reduce manual work.

For years, the corporate world’s obsession has been customer data. We meticulously track funnels, analyse NPS (net promoter) scores, and build sophisticated dashboards dedicated to the external customer journey. By the time we hit 2026, however, the locus of competitive advantage will have shifted inward, demanding an entirely new data discipline: Employee Intelligence (EI).

Because no matter how much you optimise your product, if your people are overwhelmed, under-supported, or mismatched with the wrong training, growth flatlines.

I didn’t build Semis from comfort. From debt and sweat with several pilots.

From nights when my wife stayed up designing the product while I was implementing flows. From days when bills were due, and we still kept building.

And despite everything, we now have a working product.
