We have worked with numerous SaaS and service companies in different roles: As advisors, Board members, or consultants on targeted projects related to internationalization, leadership development, strategic positioning, planning for financial structure and growth financing, or SaaS business development.

Occasionally we also invest in the companies we work with (see our investment portfolio further down the page).

Feedback from our clients 


Case Lenio: Growth plan and Investor Deck

"Takeoff Partners delivered a series of projects for us that first concentrated on SaaS business consulting and altering our ownership structure. We then continued with producing an investor deck and finding market insights to support our expansion plans. We successfully raised growth funding as a result from these efforts. 

Overall, our team appreciated the professional yet down-to-earth approach of Takeoff Partners, and would happily recommend them as great support and a sounding board to growth-minded SaaS companies.

Simo Mäkinen
CEO at Lenio

Case Koti Puhtaaksi: Board membership

“Markko from Takeoff Partners has really added value to our company Koti Puhtaaksi Oy by being on the company's Board of Directors. Markko is calm and makes considered decisions.

His special ability is to crystallize other people’s unstructured ideas into clear To Do lists and make sure that the action points will actually take place. I warmly recommend Markko especially for growth companies and their Board work.”

Saana Tyni
CEO at Koti Puhtaaksi Oy

Case Avoset: Board membership

“Working with Markko has been a pleasure. Our Board work at Avoset has developed towards a more professional direction with Markko's help, and we have found ways to dodge the pitfalls that usually come across when the business is in rapid growth stage. Thank you!”

Case Supervise: Strategy for Growth and Internationalization
