==History==
Happeo was founded in 2017 by Perttu Ojansuu and Antero Hanhirova. Prior to that, the key people of Happeo founded Gapps, a startup that aimed to connect the businesses of Finland with secure integrations of Google Workspace products. After working closely with their clients, the Gapps team identified a need for a better link between the various workplace productivity and communication tools, and for this Universe (now Happeo) was launched in 2016.
In 2017, Universe (now Happeo) became an independent private SaaS company offering advanced features. In 2018, Universe changed its name to Happeo, along with establishing company offices in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Cluj, Romania, and Chicago, USA.
