Moder is a Finnish hospitality scale-up that provides a modern hotel and experience management system tailored for hotels and resorts. Unlike traditional systems that focus solely on room management, Moder offers an all-in-one platform capable of managing all tourism products, from hotel rooms and experiences to activities and venue rentals.
Public funding through expert collaboration
Throughout their partnership, Moder and Grants have successfully secured multiple public funding grants, the latest being a Business Finland R&D loan. These projects were carried out alongside Grants’ funding expert, Tarja Pitkänen. Moder CEO Matti Ala-Outinen describes the collaboration:
“The cooperation has been seamless and highly professional. The expert truly is an expert; she knows exactly what she is doing.”
Ala-Outinen highlights Grants’ capability to identify the most suitable funding instruments as the core value of the partnership.
“With Grants’ help, we found the right, correctly scaled funding instruments for our needs. That has been a massive help for us.”
Who is Grants for?
When the collaboration began, Moder’s size and growth phase made partnering with a funding expert a logical strategic move. Based on his experience, Ala-Outinen highly recommends Grants to companies that are further along in their business development — and for whom it no longer makes sense to spend internal resources navigating the complex public funding landscape.
