Wandrio is a global exploration and adventure app. The entire world map is divided into grid squares, which users collect by moving around in real life. The goal is to encourage people to discover new places in their daily lives without requiring massive physical exertion.
The collaboration between Wandrio and Grants began through a professional network. Wandrio’s CEO, Olli Kopakkala, already knew Grants’ CEO, Aki Pohjola, and reached out when public funding became topical for the company. Kopakkala notes that the partnership has been excellent, and all applied funding has been successfully secured.
Mastering details and time management
Kopakkala highlights that the greatest benefit of the collaboration is that Grants knows exactly what the evaluators look for in an application. Precisely formulated and clear content separates a strong application from a mediocre one. Leveraging a professional partner saves the entrepreneur time and resources, eliminating the need to dive into the details of the funding process.
”The best part is Grants’ expertise. They know exactly what the funder is looking for, and they know which words to use and which points to emphasize. Fine-tuning those details on our own would have been challenging.”

Another key advantage Kopakkala points out is scheduling. Entrepreneurs are often juggling multiple priorities simultaneously, making it easy for a funding application to get buried under daily operational tasks. Grants keeps the momentum going and ensures everything is delivered on time.
”I’m often juggling multiple priorities. Grants has ensured that everything related to the funding applications gets done on schedule.”
Who is Grants for?
Kopakkala’s answer is straightforward: Grants is suitable for any company considering public funding.
Grants’ continuous funding service scales perfectly for companies of various sizes and across different industries. The common denominator is the desire to produce high-quality, competitive applications while saving the company’s internal time and resources.
