Agileday raises €6.4M Series A

Our portfolio company Agileday has raised a €6.4 million Series A round to accelerate international growth and product development.

The round was led by Newion, with participation from Specialist VC and us. The funding supports Agileday’s expansion across Europe and North America as demand grows for modern operating platforms built for professional services firms.

Agileday builds a people centric operating platform that connects sales, delivery, and financial data into one system. For consulting, IT, and digital services companies, it replaces fragmented tools with a clear, shared view of how work is sold, staffed, delivered, and run.

“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.” says Jaakko Hartikainen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday.

From Pre-seed conviction to Series A

We had the honor of being Agileday’s first investor, backing the company since the pre-seed stage in 2023.

“We met the team very early on and followed their first months’ progress closely,” says Sami Ahvenniemi, our General Partner. “They had lived the problem themselves, and it showed. Even back then, the product vision was clear and grounded in how professional services actually work.”

Since then, Agileday has grown rapidly. The platform is now used by more than 70 service companies globally, with strong traction among larger and enterprise customers in both Europe and North America.

Product, execution, and customer trust

Agileday’s success is not about chasing trends or overpromising.

“Their sales execution is strong, customer satisfaction is high, and references are excellent,” Ahvenniemi says.

He also highlights how early and consistently the team leaned into AI in a practical way.

“They understood early that once you have all the core operational data in one place, AI becomes a natural layer on top of it. They moved fast on that roadmap and showed concrete use cases, not just slides,” Ahvenniemi adds.

That approach has been validated in vendor evaluations, particularly in North America. When professional services firms have evaluated platforms, Agileday has repeatedly won against incumbent players, because the product is built as a genuinely modern platform with AI as a core capability.

“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,” says Mikko Virtanen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday.

Under the hood, the company is run with the same level of discipline as the product itself. At Agileday, things are well analyzed, clearly communicated, and decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.

“It’s one of the best run early stage companies I’ve worked with from an operational perspective,” Ahvenniemi says.

Continuing a long term partnership

For Vendep, Agileday’s Series A is a continuation of a long term partnership rather than a milestone to tick off.

“This round validates what we believed early on,” says Ahvenniemi. “Agileday’s strength is not only in the founders, but in the whole team. When deep domain understanding and disciplined execution run through the organization, you can build and scale a global company.”

“Agileday’s strength is not only in the founders, but in the whole team.”

We’re proud to continue backing Agileday alongside a strong international investor group, and excited to follow the team as they scale into their next phase! 🚀
