Aaltoes Talk with Mårten Mickos

Come listen to one of the most succesful entrepreneurs from TKK. We had a chance to meet him during the Aaltoes Silicon Valley Talkoot trip. There we invited him to come speak for us on his next visit back to Finland. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long.

Mårten Mickos was a CEO of MySQL AB, which made a major exit to Sun Microsystems on February 2008. He has also founded several start-ups, graduated from Helsinki University of Technology and is currently working at Benchmark Capital.

The event is at the new Aalto Venture Park (Betonimiehenkuja 3, Espoo) on the 15th of December. Come be inspired. Register at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=190207501444&ref=ts#/event.php?eid=190207501444&ref=ts
