We bring an industry spesific Project Development CRM, Bid Management Tools and Project Management Software in one easy-to-useplatform which integrates easily with other most used software in the industry. Even thought the construction industry accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, there's been a global problem of poor productivity within the industry as productivity growth has increased only 1% over the past 20 years. From the real estate developers and general contractors point of view, the biggest issue is the projects that turn unprofitable unexpectedly. One unprofitable project destroys the whole year profits and another one can bankrupt the entire company. Most of the decisions that affect the success of a project are made before construction begins, but still there are no smart tools available for that stage to help the construction companies avoid unprofitable projects. We solve this global problem by bringing the most critical steps to the success of a construction project on the same platform.

The Citizenship Fund started out when the founders of the company discovered in their previous positions that a promising Finnish growth company will spend a great deal of time and energy in arranging financing. A good business idea and a team with excellent team could take months in financial negotiations and the outcome could be a return to thestart-up. At the same time, investors often wanted new types of higher potential investments alongside traditional alternatives.These two challenges were possible by removing the promising growth companies as investors, even for non-traditional venture capital investors. Citizenship wanted to create a service in which the company would be able to capitalize on business quickly and flexibly, but the decision-making business would be left to the company itself. From today's point of view, Springvest's goal is that an increasing number of Finnish investors can get involved in the story of Finnish growth companies and potential success.
