It's civil society that needs to own the technology — not be owned by tech companies

Together with our driven customers — non-profit organisations — we've been building Octany since 2017. The Nordic fundraising platform wholly dedicated to strengthening fundraising efforts with tools built for non-profits.

What we do

Today, we offer a complete fundraising platform with a journey that spans everything from the very first donation to a long-lasting donor relationship. Fundraising campaigns, CRM, Nordic payments, communications, reports and analytics, and KPIs that help you make better decisions.

We have 100+ organisations on the platform and we're steadily growing. Non-profits get an infrastructure built for their reality. We work long-term and sustainably to deliver scalable, future-proof technology. Octany has low churn and wonderfully engaged customers.

Scales with organisations big and small

Octany is purposefully built both to help newly started organisations get going and to give the truly large organisations the time-saving tools they need. That way, a start-up non-profit can simplify its everyday work just as easily as a large, well-established one. Small to mid-sized organisations can scale up their fundraising quickly — without having to switch platforms.

Our founders are a hands-on team

Our founders are a tight-knit tech team who've worked together for many years, with deep expertise across three concrete areas: Analytics & Marketing, Innovation & Technology, and Design Strategy & Psychology. The team has a background as mentors for students in software and design, and they're all co-founders. With 20 years of experience in e-commerce and platforms, their motto is to build sustainable technology created with and for people.

Octany — an ethical choice

Octany has no investors and no middle-management bureaucracy — which leaves us entirely free to build exactly what our customers, the non-profit organisations, need, when they need it. We build sustainable technology, a "golden nugget" that's always kept up to date, so that those saving lives on scarce resources get a tool that makes their working day easier.

Together with our customers, we form an ethical ecosystem that stands firm in helping people in need — and that grows entirely organically across the Nordics and beyond.

"The best thing about Octany is that we feel they genuinely care about their customers, understand us, and are solution-oriented. There's been a real click between our organisations. Octany truly offers a complete solution that's right for us.

We did thorough research, going through the payment solutions available on the market. We needed something smooth, simple and that just works. Our choice was Octany.

We found that the team at Octany has the technical experience and understood our type of organisation. Quite simply, we liked the all-in-one solution — with email engine, memorial gifts, campaign shop and more."


"We tested and evaluated loads of fundraising tools. Octany was quite simply the best — both easy to use and professional. It looks great and is user-friendly, both outwardly towards our donors and for us to work with internally.

I'm so glad we chose Octany as our fundraising tool. Now it sounds like I'm advertising for you, but this is genuinely how I feel! I feel listened to. If I have a question, I get an answer straight away.

As soon as we use Octany in our newsletters as a direct link, or on campaign pages on our website, we see that it delivers far better results than other alternatives."

"The best thing about Octany is that, even though I'm definitely not someone who builds websites, I can still set up a fundraiser.

Octany is simple, intuitive and professional — yet still personal and close. The care you show for us as a customer is genuine.

We got the tip through our network, from a chap who was on our board. But thinking about it, I probably would have found Octany anyway.
If I look around at what others are doing, many organisations in our space use Octany as their platform — it's a natural choice."
