Agileday, a Finnish technology company building an AI-powered operating platform for professional services, has announced a €6.4 million Series A funding round to fuel international expansion and advance its mission to modernise the professional services industry.
The Series A round was led by Newion, with participation from Specialist VC, Vendep Capital and Business Finland. The investment will accelerate Agileday’s growth across Europe and North America whilst advancing its professional services automation (PSA) platform.
From Industry Pain Points to Innovation
Founded in 2022 by experienced entrepreneurs Jaakko Hartikainen, Mikko Virtanen, Jaakko Hallavo and Hannu Kärkkäinen, Agileday has developed a unified operating system that connects talent, allocations, timesheets and project financials into a single platform. The system acts as an operational engine between CRM and financial tools, synchronising sales pipeline, project delivery and financial data in real time.
The founding team’s vision emerged from their direct experience of the challenges facing professional services firms. Whilst working together at IT company Tieto, Hartikainen and Virtanen witnessed firsthand how outdated management systems hindered both people and business growth, prompting them to develop a human-centric and transparent leadership model that became the foundation of the Agileday platform.
“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,” said Jaakko Hartikainen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday on the press release.
“By unifying sales, project and financial data together with people’s skills and interests into one transparent platform, we help companies grow faster whilst creating the work-life people deserve.”
Rapid Growth Fuelled by Nordic Values
The company currently serves over 70 global service companies, ranging from fast-growing consultancies to publicly listed corporations. Agileday has achieved three-times year-over-year growth, with particularly strong demand amongst enterprise clients including Apply Digital, Propeller and The Electric Factory in North America, and Knowit, Siili Solutions and Eficode in Europe.
Mikko Virtanen, co-founder and co-CEO, attributed the company’s success to its Nordic roots. “Our strong growth shows that Nordic values – trust and radical transparency – are a real competitive advantage for modern companies,” he said. “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.”
The platform addresses a critical shift in the professional services sector, where automation and AI are rapidly transforming traditional workflows. By breaking down silos across sales, delivery and finance, Agileday enables firms to gain clearer visibility, execute faster and operate more efficiently.
Anton Keller, Associate at Newion, praised the founding team’s industry experience. “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,” he said. “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 fresh capital will be directed towards scaling technology development and accelerating growth in international markets, as the company seeks to establish itself as a leading player in the professional services automation sector.
