Om DecideAct A/S

DecideAct er en dedikeret udbyder af løsninger, der flytter manuel implementering og opfølgning af strategi til en cloudbaseret Strategy Execution Management-løsning. Ved at nytænke måden, strategi implementeres på, har DecideAct skabt et banebrydende værktøj, som kan hjælpe virksomheder og organisationer med at komme i mål med deres strategier. DecideActs vision er at modernisere strategisk lederskab gennem teknologi.

Strategy Execution Management er en ny kategori, som er interessant af flere grunde: For det første fordi alle virksomheder arbejder med strategi. For det andet fordi de fleste virksomheder oplever, at deres strategier strander i implementeringen. Og for det tredje fordi de fleste virksomheder ikke har en digital løsning til strategi-implementering.

Grundlæggerne af DecideAct har brugt de sidste fem år på at udvikle og forfine cloudløsningen sammen med kunder på det islandske testmarked. Baseret på salgserfaringen herfra er salgspotentialet i Danmark, Sverige, Norge og Finland alene flere end 500 kunder i løbet af de næste tre år. Landes bare halvdelen af disse, vil det give en årlig abonnementsomsætning på 56,9 mio. danske kroner i 2023.

DecideActs cloudløsning er som skabt til den nye virkelighed, hvor virksomheder arbejder sammen på distancen. Med andre ord: timingen er rigtig. Og det er ambitionen fortsat at sætte standarden i kategorien – samtidig med at markedet vokser sig stort.

Reason for the offering

DecideAct is seeking funds to drive its marketing and sales capability. The Company believes that it is in a market situation that is an early stage Product Life Cycle with a fairly low market maturity, it is important to be ahead of the curve and thus enjoy as much first mover advantage as possible. DecideAct’s aim is not only to scale its sales and support functions, but also to allocate resources to increasing awareness in the market. The Founders will draw on their vast international experience to spread the word, but they have also teamed up with some of the world’s prominent thought leaders when it comes to evangelizing modern Strategy Execution Management.

Financial performance and expectations

For the past two years, test marketing has been conducted in Iceland to test interest and purchase cycle. With a relatively modest effort, DecideAct has produced extremely good results that have also indicated the potential in the Nordic markets in the coming years. DecideAct anticipates that the client base will add up to at least 250 licenses by 2023 corresponding to an MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) of approximately DKK 5 million and a corresponding ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) of approximately DKK 57 million, which is more than 10 times the expected MRR at the end of 2020.
