June 15, 2023
Agileday, a SaaS technology company founded in 2022, has announced today the successful completion of a funding round, raising €1.35 million.
The investment round consisted of €1.15 million invested by Vendep Capital, Nordic’s leading venture capital firm for B2B SaaS companies, and €0.2 million from the team.
Agileday aims to create work life people deserve by developing a powerful operating platform for professional service firms. The platform approaches the common operating challenges of companies with a unique people-centric approach that supports human motivation and radical transparency that positively impact the business. By connecting sales and project data with people’s skills and interests, the SaaS platform empowers everyone in the company to develop and to lead growth resulting in higher business results, faster deliveries as well as stronger talent engagement and retention.
“Agileday’s team is uniquely experienced in their segment. What they have achieved in less than a year from founding is proof of their strong ability to execute on their vision. Their SaaS platform has immense potential to transform how companies work, on a global scale”, says Sami Ahvenniemi, General Partner at Vendep Capital.
The recently secured funding will play a pivotal role in Agileday’s journey towards faster scalability. With the investment, the company aims to develop the scope of the platform faster, embark on new markets, and serve its growing customer base even better. Scaling the platform will necessitate the addition of fresh talent to the Agileday team.
“We are thrilled to have secured this funding from Vendep, who shares our beliefs for reshaping work life”, states Jaakko Hartikainen, the Co-CEO of Agileday. “With this investment we are well-positioned for growth and we can accelerate our development and scale the business globally. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
The company was founded by four co-founders with a strong track record of leading and growing professional service firms themselves. Drawing on their deep industry expertise, the platform was created in close collaboration with two pilot customers and launched in March 2023. Since its launch, Agileday has already garnered over 10 customers, including fast-growing engineering firms like Alfame and Unikie, and has over 1000 users, a testament to the market-fit within the industry.
