Great to have you onboard!

Bravedo is a growth community of independent companies — united by trust, freedom, and shared values, not by top-down control.

Every Bravedo company has its own strengths, brand, and customer base. But together, we have more to offer — to our clients, our teams, and the market. We believe in combining our capabilities when it makes sense, and staying agile when it doesn’t.

Bravedo is not a traditional corporation or investment firm. We’re not here to own — we’re here to enable. Our community works like a puzzle: each piece adds value on its own, but together, they form something greater.

Joining the Bravedo community means more than just being under the same ownership umbrella — it means embracing responsible freedom, shared values, and a collaborative way of working. Some things are expected from everyone, and others are up to you.

What’s Expected (a.k.a. the “must-haves”)

These are the basics all Bravedo companies follow to keep our community fair, secure, and operational:

• Use proper governance models and decision-making structures
  Every company is responsible for their own management, but key decisions (e.g. M&A, financing, exec salaries) go through Bravedo Oy.

• Follow common legal and compliance standards
  Such as GDPR, personal data protection, financial reporting obligations, and information security minimums.

• Respect Bravedo’s community guidelines
  These cover how we collaborate, treat people, communicate, and make decisions. They’re based on our shared values: growth & bravery, collaboration, and responsible freedom. Enter Bravedo Community Guidelines here. 

• Avoid direct internal competition
  Overlapping business can happen, but it should be openly discussed and managed with clear rules between companies.

• Align with Bravedo’s policies and principles
  These shared policies help ensure fairness, transparency, and smooth collaboration across all companies in the Bravedo community.

• Follow the “1-over-1” principle
  Significant decisions (like hiring, bonuses, incentives) must be approved by the manager one level above.
