Out of over 200 participant companies in the Kasvu Open (Growth Open) programme, ContractZen earned a place in the 2024 TOP 10 Growth Companies. Our international and scalable business and strong customer base impressed the judges, and during the programme we gained valuable lessons & feedback for business development.
In spring 2024, ContractZen was selected as one of the participants in the Startup category of the Growth Open 2024 -programme. The programme offers growth-oriented companies the opportunity to develop their business with the support of experts. During the programme, we participated in a number of great sparring sessions, where we gained valuable insights and advice on how to develop our business.
In August, we were selected from over 200 participants as one of the TOP 60 growth companies in the Growth Open. The jury particularly appreciated our international and scalable business and our strong customer base. The judging criteria were market potential, team, growth potential and traction.
In September, we participated in a TOP 60 day, where we received further valuable sparring and feedback from the experts. At the end of the day, the jury was left to consider which of the TOP 60 growth companies are worthy of the TOP 10 Growth Company designation.
At the end of September, we received the happy news that the jury had selected us as one of the ten finalists to compete for the title of Growth Company of the Year 2024!
The competition culminated in the Kasvu Open Carnival on 31 October in the city of Jyväskylä, where we were able to present our company once again to the jury and the public. Although the title of Growth Company of the Year went to GoByBike Finland from Espoo, we are proud of our performance and congratulate GoByBike for the well-deserved victory.
Jani Kilpeläinen, who represented ContractZen at the Kasvu Open, commented on his experience as follows:
"It was very rewarding to participate in the Kasvu Open and represent ContractZen. During the sparring programme, I was able to gather additional lessons and development ideas for the future, which we can use both as a company and personally. I would like to thank Kasvu Open for a great and brilliant sparring programme and ContractZen for trusting me to represent our company in the programme." 
The Kasvu Open sparring programme as a whole was very rewarding for us. We are grateful for the support we received and the opportunity to be part of this inspiring community. Special thanks go to Jani Kilpeläinen, who represented ContractZen excellently throughout the process.
With the important lessons and advice gained from the Growth Open, ContractZen will continue to further develop its services to be more comprehensive to meet the requirements of its customers and the different industries.
