Profile note
Founded 2016 by Joel Hellermark and Anna Nordell Westling; built AI-native enterprise knowledge and learning tools (Sana Learn, Sana Agents). Bought by Workday for ~USD 1.1B in late 2025 and relaunched in March 2026 as Workday's 'Sana' knowledge-discovery and work-automation platform. Not a foundation-model lab — it builds on third-party models — and a second data point for the region's exit pattern.
