Agileday, an Espoo-based technology company building an AI operating platform for professional services, today announced that it has raised €6.4 million in Series A funding for international expansion and to modernise how professional services firms plan, deliver, and scale their work.
The round was led by Newion, with participation from Specialist VC, Vendep Capital, and Business Finland.
“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,” said Anton Keller, Associate at Newion.
Agileday was founded in 2022 by Jaakko Hartikainen, Mikko Virtanen, Jaakko Hallavo, and Hannu Kärkkäinen. Jaakko Hartikainen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday, said, “Agileday was founded because we saw how outdated management systems were holding both people and businesses back.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.”
The company’s AI-powered professional services automation platform (PSA) connects talent, allocations, timesheets, and project financials into one unified operating system for services firms. According to Agileday, the platform acts as the operational engine between CRM and financial tools, synchronising sales pipeline, project delivery, and financial data in real time, with AI integrated into its core functionality.
With AI and automation transforming professional services, Agileday claims to help professional services companies gain visibility and operational efficiency by breaking down silos across sales, delivery, and finance.
The company reports serving over 70 global service companies, ranging from fast-growing consultancies to publicly listed corporations. It has registered 3x year-over-year growth and witnessed strong demand among enterprise clients such as Apply Digital, Propeller and The Electric Factory in North America, as well as Knowit, Siili Solutions and Eficode in Europe.
Mikko Virtanen, co-founder and co-CEO of Agileday, said, “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.”
With this fresh capital, the company plans to scale its technology and accelerate growth across Europe and North America.
