How Upsy Oy Extended
Its Runway Without
Compromising on Talent
A Helsinki-based SaaS company needed to scale engineering capacity without shortening its path to its next milestone.
Here's how a dedicated remote team changed the math.
The Challenge
Upsy Oy needed to scale its engineering and product team to keep pace with its growth plans. Hiring locally would have significantly increased payroll costs, putting pressure on runway and limiting the company's ability to invest elsewhere.
Upsy Oy wasn't looking for the cheapest option. They needed experienced professionals who could integrate quickly, deliver from day one, and stay with the business for the long term.
The Invicta Approach
Rather than simply filling vacancies, we worked closely with Upsy Oy to understand the roles, technical requirements, and long-term objectives. We built a dedicated remote engineering and product team, managing sourcing, onboarding, HR, and ongoing employee support to ensure continuity from day one.
The Outcome
Meaningfully reduced total talent costs compared to local hiring
Enabled Upsy Oy to build a larger, highly capable engineering team within the same budget
Extended the company's financial runway, giving leadership more room to invest in product development and growth
Built a stable, high-performing team focused on long-term success, not short-term staffing
The biggest impact wasn't simply lower hiring costs. It was giving Upsy Oy more time, greater flexibility, and stronger confidence to execute its growth strategy.
Invicta gave us senior engineering talent without the overhead of local hiring. That difference gave us real runway to keep building.
