Get Ready for the Summer of Your Life

Already safely secured a summer job? You might want to reconsider.

You may have a great business idea on mind, but no time or money to develop it further. Summer of Startups (SoS) is the answer. This summer program for early-stage business ideas is organized for the fourth time at Startup Sauna in Espoo.

The summer program of your life

During the program, the selected teams will receive coaching, feedback, pitching lessons and meet top serial entrepreneurs as coaches. To get a better hang of what SoS is all about, check the website.

We are looking for teams enthusiastic about their idea. The program is mainly targeted to students and researchers. However, it’s the team’s competence and will, which matters the most. Your idea can be anything that may be developed into a startup.

Why should you apply?

1. You get to work with the most driven people

Not ok people, but the most dedicated and talented. Our attendees are driven and best in what they do. You don’t have to excel in everything – that’s why we have top coaches!

2. This time you can make a difference

You get the chance to realize your true potential and do exactly what you want. No one is giving you orders from the corporate level. This time you push yourself and your team forward!

3. This summer will change your view in life

After Summer of Startups, you’ve learned to fail miserably, rethink your decisions and rejoice your achievements.  You’re able to look at things from a more critical point of view. You learn to trust in your intuition. And most importantly, you will believe in yourself.


The application period has started: gather your team and apply now!
