Fantastic first day at the Venture Garage! First thing in the morning, coaches Ramine Darabiha and Ville Simola welcomed a bunch of eager entrepreneurs to the Summer of Startups HQ in Otaniemi and spent the day getting to know the teams and setting milestones for the first-of-its-kind program. In the afternoon, SoS teams were already put to face the fire as Will Cardwell from Aalto Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) and Andrea Traversone from Amadeus Capital stopped by to hear the teams pitch.

Remember to tweet your ideas, comments and feedback with #summerofstartups and let’s make this summer one for the books!

Watch below Andrea address the crowd on the life of a modern VC and the secrets of a good pitch.
