Results and efficiency
Christer Nordman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Pankaboard, notes that partnerships are crucial for compact organizations. According to him, utilizing an expert like Grants is both smart and profitable, as funding applications are their core focus. This strength is directly reflected in the quality of the work. During the first phase of their partnership, Pankaboard and Grants successfully secured a Business Finland GenAI grant.
“The best thing about this collaboration is that funding applications are your core competence. You have a strong vision of how to build applications efficiently. This significantly reduces the workload for our own team, which is exactly what we look for in a partnership.”

Saving time and resources
The projects were managed by Grants’ funding expert Jaakko Ojanen, whose proactive approach along with the rest of Grants’ team received high praise from Nordman. Drafting the application was fast and effortless, as potential obstacles were addressed before they could turn into issues.
“Jaakko has done an excellent job and drives things forward proactively. Without Grants, building a high-quality application would have been significantly more difficult for us and would have taken much more time.”
Who is Grants for?
Nordman recommends Grants’ services especially to small and medium-sized enterprises that want to direct their internal resources toward their core business while ensuring efficiency in their funding applications. Partnering with an expert saves time and resources, allowing the company to focus on its own strengths.
“Grants is an excellent fit for small and medium-sized enterprises that wouldn’t be able to run this kind of application process efficiently on their own.”
