We are thrilled to finally announce our investment in Workfellow! We initially backed Workfellow in 2020 and we’re thrilled to continue backing the team alongside OpenOcean who led the recent €2.73M funding round!

Workfellow founders Kustaa Kivelä and Henri Wiik.

Founded in 2019 by Henri Wiik and Kustaa Kivelä, Workfellow is a data-driven platform that automatically analyzes knowledge work operations and identifies inefficiencies in systems, processes, tools, and ways of working.

Before founding Workfellow, Henri and Kustaa worked together in Capgemini’s Nordic Intelligent Automation Leadership team building Capgemini’s automation business. They have worked with 50+ European leading enterprises with RPA, process mining, process development, chatbots, intelligent OCR and machine learning. In their work Henri and Kustaa noticed that current RPA and process mining tools are focused on processes from a software or governance perspective. The human in the process is forgotten except from a surveillance perspective. However, with increasing remote work and automation, the focus is shifting towards understanding how people can do their work better. With new automation tools the question of what to automate remains.

“After years in automation consulting of digital productivity with the leading European companies and the hottest technologies like RPA, machine learning and process mining, we noticed that we lack a software to guide us to find the best productivity improvement opportunities easily. We were shocked that a practical and fast way to do that did not exist: Thus Workfellowi was founded and an innovative approach was combined with the extensive domain experience,” founders explain.

The newly-added funds will support Workfellow’s growth by ramping up its product and commercial operation.

Huge congratulations Henri, Kustaa and team Workfellow for achieving this important milestone!
