Agileday, a Finnish technology company building a people-centric operating platform for professional services firms, has raised a €6.4 million Series A round to support international expansion and further develop its AI-driven product.
The round was led by Newion, with participation from Specialist VC, Vendep Capital, and Business Finland. The company said the new capital will be used to scale its technology and accelerate growth across Europe and North America.
Agileday positions its product as a professional services automation (PSA) platform that unifies core operational data, including talent and skills information, allocations, timesheets, project delivery, and project financials. The company describes the platform as an operational layer between CRM systems and financial tools, designed to synchronize sales pipeline, delivery execution, and finance data in real time, with AI capabilities embedded throughout.
Founded in 2022 by Jaakko Hartikainen, Mikko Virtanen, Jaakko Hallavo, and Hannu Kärkkäinen, Agileday says its approach was shaped by the founders’ experience working at IT company Tieto, where they encountered operational challenges common to services firms as they scale. The company frames its product philosophy around Nordic values such as trust and transparency, arguing that better visibility and alignment across sales, delivery, and finance can help firms make decisions faster and improve execution.
Agileday said it serves more than 70 global service companies, spanning fast-growing consultancies and publicly listed corporations, and cited 3x year-over-year growth. The company also highlighted demand among enterprise clients, naming Apply Digital, Propeller, and The Electric Factory in North America, as well as Knowit, Siili Solutions, and Eficode in Europe.
Newion said Agileday is addressing operational pain points that can limit growth in services businesses, and pointed to customer evaluation performance and international momentum as indicators of product market fit.
KEY QUOTES
“Agileday was founded because we saw how outdated management systems were holding both people and businesses back. 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, Agileday
“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. As a Nordic-born company, we’re now challenging global giants in this category, with a 100% win rate in client evaluations across all markets.”
Mikko Virtanen, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Agileday
“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.”
