At the core of our platform is performance – measured, optimized, and competing at a global level.

A Three-Person Dev Team Operating at Elite Level

Great software development is about turning vision into production-ready code without unnecessary friction.

According to LinearB’s 2026 benchmark report, Thril’s development team ranks in thetop 10% globally, operating atElite levelamong more than 4,800 organizations. That’s a significant achievement for a team of just three developers.

The Technical Foundations of Speed and Quality

Our development velocity is built on a modular architecture and fully automated processes. Our cycle time consistently stays below 25 hours. Every line of code moves to production quickly and reliably.

We don’t optimize for speed at the expense of quality. We optimize for both.

Software Delivery Metrics (LinearB 2026 Elite Level)

Metric	Industry Average	Thril Performance
Cycle Time	< 25 h	Elite
Coding Time	< 54 min	Elite
Pickup Time	< 1 h	Elite
Review Time	< 3 h	Elite
Deploy Frequency	> 1,2 / service / day	Elite

Flow State and Seamless Collaboration

We’ve almost completely eliminated waiting time in our development process. While code often sits idle for days waiting for review in many teams, our average pull request pickup time isunder one hour.

This level of speed requires tight communication and shared ownership of quality.

Our rework rate stays below 3%, allowing us to focus our energy on building new innovations – not fixing old mistakes.

Review Process Efficiency

Process Stage	Industry Average	Thril Performance
Pickup Time	> 24 h	< 2 h
Review Time	4,4 days	< 4 h
Approval Rate	84,4 %	> 90 %

A Mission That Attracts Top Talent

We’re not just building software, we’re solving real, large-scale societal challenges.

At Thril, developers have the freedom to choose the best tools and directly shape the product. In a small team, every line of code has an immediate impact on the end user. That level of ownership attracts top-tier talent.

"Thril’s technical foundation is built on quality. We use modern technologies with intention. Our CI pipeline examines every line of code with precision. Automation and AI-assisted reviews catch even the smallest issues early. As a team, we get to work with a stable codebase and real focus - no constant firefighting. We fix issues immediately when they arise and continuously push both product features and technical standards forward, every single day."

Santeri Elo

"The best part is that while we’re building powerful features, we’re also taking care of the developer experience. Features are easy to build, bugs are easy to spot, and our tech stack stays modern, so we can focus on what actually matters."

Hugo Hutri

"At Thril, there’s constant roasting going on - but because of it (or maybe thanks to it), the level keeps rising. You learn fast here when feedback is direct and honest."

Tackling the Inactivity Crisis with Technology

Did you know that physical inactivity is directly linked to Alzheimer’s disease? In Finland alone, this connection results in approximately €340 million in annual costs.

Overall, physical inactivity costs Finnish society more than €3.2 billion per year. Thril is built to remove these barriers.

Our digital infrastructure makes it effortless to stay active and find people to play with. We’re removing friction from everyday movement.

The annual cost of physical inactivity in Finland

Cost Category	Estimated total
Treatment of chronic diseases	€1,4 billion
The harms of sedentary behavior	€1,6 billion
Decline in productivity	€2,0 billion
Loss of income tax revenue	€1,4 billion
Total impact on society	Over €3.2 billion

The Future: A Unified B2B Ecosystem Powered by AI

Thril is both a consumer marketplace and a management platform for sports venues.

Our tools cover everything from bookings to real-time analytics. We are among the first in the market to integrate AI directly into operational optimization.

Investor Confidence Is Fueling Our European Expansion

Our modular architecture enables rapid scaling. We already serve over 8,000 monthly active users and 70 sports venues across Finland and Estonia. Our platform supports approximately 50 different sports.

The pre-seed funding secured in February 2026 is accelerating our technical development even further. Investor confidence validates our ability to digitalize everyday sports at scale. Thril is building the intelligent infrastructure for everyday activity.

We have a measurable technical edge, a clear vision, and a world-class team.

And we’re just getting started.

Join the Growth

We’re looking for elite-level software engineers to join our team.We offer full autonomy, a modern tech stack, and the opportunity to work on something that directly impacts a global societal challenge.

For sports venues, we provide one of the most advanced management platforms on the market.

We’re also looking for partners and investors to accelerate our international growth.

Let’s build the leading infrastructure for everyday activity in Europe together.
