“We have held strategic discussions continuously during my time as investor and the journey we are heading out on will be very exciting. Our SaaS-framework is one of a kind and Checkin.com Groups ability to grow on a global scale from start is very promising. Furthermore is a strength for us that the business model is profitable and that we can scale quickly, both to new verticals and geographies. I think that more or less every company that interacts with their customers online will benefit from making it easier for their customers to join their service.”

The owners that already have invested are a strong seal of approval for everything that has been achieved so far, but also the high ambitions for the future.
