Background and challenges

Preliminary Market Analysis

As it approached a pivotal fundraising phase, IVALO.COM had already undertaken significant preliminary market analysis by enlisting an MBA intern from a prestigious business school.

Strategic Scaling needed

However, subsequent investor meetings highlighted the insufficiency of these efforts in providing the comprehensive insights required for strategic scaling.

Matti Lamminsalo

CEO & Co-Founder of IVALO.COM

"Despite our diligent preliminary work, the feedback from our first investor meetings made it clear that we needed a deeper, more strategic approach. We soon realized that our initialefforts, although significant, were not compelling enough to communicate our future vision."
