Greenstep helped us navigate many tight situations. Startups always face challenges, some more serious than others. Our outsourced CFO was a true professional and helped us get through many of these tricky spots that we might otherwise have stumbled badly on.
In practice, Greenstep handled all of Moi Mobiili’s financing in our early days, which was a very significant matter since we’re talking about millions. That immediately built trust in Greenstep. They have been our knowledgeable partner from the very beginning, which has been extremely important to us.
Because it’s important for a scale-up to get things right from day one, we chose Greenstep as our CFO partner. We are a very technology-focused company, and since we report, among other things, on publicly funded R&D projects, Greenstep has been an extremely valuable resource for us.
Supporting growth companies has been part of Greenstep’s DNA from the very beginning. We know the startup landscape, investors, and ways of working like the back of our hand.

At the end of 2024, Hostaway raised an incredible $365 million in growth funding—one of the biggest investment rounds in Finnish history. But this success didn’t happen overnight. It’s a story about brave decisions, a strong team, and making smart choices even when things looked tough.
In the Finnish growth company market, there has been extensive reporting recently about the declining availability of funding and the stagnation of the growth funding boom seen in previous years. It's also widely known that a significant portion of growth companies either go bankrupt or fail to meet their objectives because the first major funding round – Series A – doesn’t materialize. Until that point, growth companies can often sustain themselves with funding from founders, angel investors, and public grants. This raises the question: what are the most common pitfalls in executing a Series A funding round, and how can a company maximize its chances of success? Let’s explore these themes from the perspective of a CFO.
Bridge financing is a short-term financial instrument aimed at addressing a company's immediate liquidity needs, effectively helping to "bridge" the gap until its financial situation stabilizes. Typically, bridge financing is utilized to cover ongoing expenses, such as salaries and other recurring monthly costs.
