How It Works
No Pitching Allowed
The 'no pitch' approach sets a relaxed tone, creating an environment where meaningful conversations can flourish without the pressure of formal presentations. Feel free to ask business-related questions or share about your startup when the opportunity arises. This is a space for sparring with funders and experienced business owners to help your company grow. But remember, it’s not just about the business itself—people are here to understand who you are, what drives you, and how you approach challenges. The core focus is on establishing strong relationships that can support your journey.
Authentic Bonds
Authentic connections go beyond networking. Whether you're sharing a personal story or listening to someone else’s journey, the aim is to build relationships that are meaningful and long-lasting. Here, it's not about what you do—it's about who you are and what drives you. By focusing on real, genuine interactions, we create a community that supports each other’s growth, both personally and professionally.
90-Minute Sessions
It has been proven here in Helsinki that in 90 days funders and founders can grow into a supportive professional family. A network of amazing people helping each other personally and professionally while contributing back to the local and global ecosystems. And if such deep bonds can be built in 90 days, we believe that good people can begin a meaningful friendship within 90 minutes.
