– We have already started our growth journey and by getting Viking Venture onboard we can speed up our strategy towards greater market share. We are well prepared for the journey and it feels good to be backed by an investor like Viking Venture, in addition to being part of their portfolio of software companies who are on the same journey, says Per Henrik Nielsen, CEO of TimeLog (right in picture above).
– Viking Venture is the leading software investor in the Nordics. Their portfolio of 16 software companies gives us a unique opportunity to engage with other companies with similar challenges and ways of operating. We are also happy to have tamigo, another Danish software company close by, which Viking Venture invested in last year, Per Henrik continues.
– The market for PSA is really exciting and we see TimeLog as a market leader. The company provides its customers great value through digitizing their work processes and ways of operating to become more profitable. We are excited to begin this journey with TimeLog, says Eivind Bergsmyr, Partner at Viking Venture and Chairman of TimeLog.
TimeLog will be a great asset for the Viking community of Nordic software companies and we are very excited to start sharing expertise and best practice.
