Michael Fornander, CEO and founder of Viio, said: “During COVID-19 and the period of zero interest rates and "free" capital, ZIRP SaaS consumption ran wild in many companies. Everyone needed Zoom and/or Teams for remote work and online meetings. Now, the economy is tighter, and many are rigorously cutting unnecessary expenses. Viio meets a significant, unsolved need. AI and automation can help with 90 per cent, but getting the job done and creating real value only comes when people take action and decide which licences and vendors to keep and which to cancel."

Ulrik Bo Larsen, the former CEO of Brandwatch, Ole Andersen, the former Nordic Director of Apple, Christian Kromann, CEO of SimCorp, Klaus Holse, Chairman of the Board at Danish Industry, and Susanne Bechmann Holse were among the investors lead by North Ventures.

Mikkel Rørvig, partner at North Ventures, said: "The digital transformation has meant that employees buy a software subscription with the company credit card today. Previously, the IT department handled all software, so the overview of software licences has been lost in recent years. Viio is firmly positioned for all companies below the significant enterprise level, as Viio's growth and excellent customer feedback also show.”
