Ravogen is a technology company specializing in human-centric data. The company helps its clients understand consumer choice using live behaviour data, smart segmentation, instore shelf data, and AI-tuned dashboards.
Ravogen has leveraged public funding to support its business for several years. When a new project came up, they wanted to bring in a partner to drive efficiency and ensure the application was phrased exactly right.
Jari Taipale, CEO of Ravogen, notes that he had heard strong recommendations about Grants Funding from fellow entrepreneurs, which made reaching out an easy decision. A single conversation with Grants’ expert, Viljami Kivistö, convinced Taipale that his professional expertise would bring significant value to both the applications and the subsequent financial reporting.
Delivering applications with precision
Taipale highlights two core benefits from the collaboration with Grants: substantial time savings and high-quality results, even under tight schedules.
Although Ravogen already had prior experience applying for public funding, working with an expert completely transformed the process. Without Grants, significantly more time would have been spent fine-tuning details and formatting the application content to match the funder’s exact requirements.
“Viljami had a crystal-clear understanding of what was essential for the application. We didn’t have to second-guess anything, which made the process so much faster and easier for us.”

The joint projects were executed on a tight schedule. Taipale gives special recognition to Kivistö’s flexibility and dedication under heavy time pressure, as well as his ability to maintain top-tier quality despite the rush.
“I don’t know if all your experts are as good as Viljami, but he clearly has the ability to grasp things quickly and point out the essentials. We were in a massive rush with this application, and Viljami went above and beyond to accommodate our timelines. Despite the scheduling pressure, the quality of work remained excellent until the very end.”
Scalable funding services for all business sizes
Taipale considered carefully who would benefit most from Grants’ services. He weighed whether the service is best suited for small startups or larger enterprises across different industries. Ultimately, he saw no reason to limit its scope. The conclusion was clear: Grants fits companies of all sizes and across various sectors. The need for external expertise always arises when a business wants to save time and resources.
“I can’t single out just one group. I believe that any company considering public funding could benefit from Grants’ services.”
