Puida

Puida Oy was a Helsinki-based software company established in 2018 by co-founders Pauli Suuraho and Tero Kononen. The firm focused on the creative project management market, developing a platform to streamline workflows for creative professionals and teams. The software was designed to simplify complex processes by organizing workflows and managing digital files, aiming to enhance productivity for its users.

The core of Puida's offering was a work management tool intended to reduce manual organizational labor. Its features included automatic file indexing, version control, referencing, and archiving capabilities. This system was built to facilitate seamless file sharing and project maintenance among team members, allowing creative talent to concentrate on their work rather than on administrative tasks. The platform operated in the Business/Productivity Software sector, with a specific focus on SaaS and CloudTech.

Puida initiated an Early Access Program, allowing the community to test the software while it was still in development. This approach, inspired by the gaming industry, aimed to gather user feedback to guide the product's direction. During this phase, access was free, though an optional monthly sponsorship subscription was available to support development. According to PitchBook, the company ceased operations as of August 2024.
