From Pain to an Idea

Back in 2015, Mikko, an investor himself, was frustrated in a sea of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and endless emails. His days were a chaotic mix of juggling deals and chasing down paperwork. He'd searched high and low for a tool that could streamline his operations, but everything he found was either too clunky, too expensive, or just plain boring.

One Wednesday evening, his supervisor asked him to put together a comprehensive review to then current activities for the next day. After pulling an all-nighter, the following evening, he thought there had to be a better way and drafted a mock-up of an ideal tool using just Powerpoint.

This initial idea, captured in a simple PowerPoint mock-up, sparked a journey to transform the concept into a tangible solution. He started gathering feedback from potential customers. He realized he wasn't alone in his struggle. Many others were yearning for a more efficient way to work, and some of them wanted to join as an early angel investor.

With this newfound motivation, he sought out a tech-savvy co-founder to turn his PowerPoint dream into a reality.

From an Idea to a Product

A clear vision without the ability to execute it will only take you so far. Mikko, drawing on experiences with Timo from previous projects, partnered with him. Timo is a seasoned CTO with over 20 years of experience building mission-critical applications in multiple companies he has founded. Together, they embarked on a journey to build Zapflow.
The initial MVP, while functional, quickly revealed a broader opportunity. Through user testing and feedback, it became clear that a more comprehensive platform was needed to address the evolving needs of buy-side professionals. The team decided to pivot and rebuild the product from the ground up.
Zapflow remains committed to serving the needs of its target audience. By actively listening to customer feedback and adapting to their changing requirements, the company has built a loyal following and strong relationships with its users.
