Agileday, a Finnish technology company developing an AI-powered operating platform for professional services, has secured €6.4 million in Series A funding. Investment firm Newion led the round, joined by Specialist VC, Vendep Capital, and Business Finland.

The capital will support international expansion and product development as the company scales across European and North American markets. Agileday plans to invest in deeper platform capabilities designed specifically for the evolving needs of consulting, IT, and digital services businesses.

Addressing Fragmentation in Professional Services Operations

Professional services firms increasingly struggle with disconnected systems that create operational bottlenecks. Sales pipelines, project management, and financial reporting often exist in separate tools, making real-time decision-making difficult.

Agileday’s platform acts as a central operating system that bridges the gap between CRM and financial software. The technology connects talent allocation, timesheets, project financials, and sales data in one unified interface. By synchronizing information across departments, the platform helps firms respond faster to market changes while maintaining visibility into their operations.

“Professional services firms don’t fail for lack of talent, but because information is fragmented, decision-making is reactive, and people are treated as resources instead of motivated professionals. We built Agileday to change that. By unifying sales, project, and financial data together with people’s skills and interests into one transparent platform, we help companies grow faster while creating the work-life people deserve.”

Jaakko Hartikainen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday

Funding to Accelerate Product Development and Market Expansion

The fresh capital will primarily support technology scaling and market growth across two key regions. Agileday is doubling down on its presence in Europe while expanding its footprint in North America, where enterprise demand has been particularly strong.

The company will also invest in advanced AI capabilities to automate routine workflows within professional services operations. This includes enhancing features around resource planning, project forecasting, and financial reporting as knowledge work continues to evolve.

From Personal Experience to Platform Solution

Four experienced entrepreneurs—Jaakko Hartikainen, Mikko Virtanen, Jaakko Hallavo, and Hannu Kärkkäinen—founded Agileday in 2022. The idea emerged from their time working together at IT company Tieto, where they experienced the operational challenges that plague growing professional services firms.

During their tenure, Hartikainen and Virtanen developed a human-centric leadership model focused on transparency and employee engagement. That approach became the philosophical foundation for Agileday’s platform design, which prioritizes people alongside business metrics.

The company now serves over 70 global clients, from fast-growing consultancies to publicly listed corporations. Notable customers include Apply Digital, Propeller, and The Electric Factory in North America, plus Knowit, Siili Solutions, and Eficode in Europe. The firm has maintained a 100% success rate in competitive client evaluations across all markets while achieving 3x year-over-year revenue growth.

“Our strong growth shows that Nordic values—trust and radical transparency—are a real competitive advantage for modern companies. When processes serve people, not the other way around, teams deliver better results faster.”

Investor Confidence in Professional Services Innovation

Newion’s investment thesis centers on Agileday’s ability to solve genuine operational pain points in a large, underserved market. The firm sees strong product-market fit evidenced by customer retention and competitive win rates.

“Agileday is redefining how professional services firms prepare for the future. The founders have lived the challenges of running service companies themselves, and that firsthand experience shows in a product that genuinely addresses real pain points and helps firms reach the next level. With strong product-market fit, an exceptional customer win rate, and rapid international growth, Agileday’s AI-powered platform is well-positioned to scale across Europe and North America.”

The syndicate of investors brings complementary expertise. Specialist VC and Vendep Capital contribute sector knowledge in B2B software, while Business Finland provides strategic support for international scaling.

Agileday operates from its Helsinki headquarters with a growing international team supporting clients across Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America.
