Said about us
From the Aaltoes Community:
” Aaltoes has provided a platform for discussion, ideas to be shared and teams to be formed. I have used this platform twice to pitch my ideas, and it has helped me to connect to some really good people. I think this is just the beginning and we expect more exemplary moves from AES. I could very well use the phrase “You ain’t seen nothing yet” to express my expectations from this brave organization. ”
- Sachin Gaur
“In my opinion, Aaltoes is the only student organization that is serious about growth entrepreneurship in the country. I say this having worked with most of the student unions here (for our student promo). Aaltoes has managed to bring known international speakers to teach students about growth entrepreneurship, organizing pitching competitions with experienced entrepreneurs, and gather 40+ new ideas / projects together in less than a year.I would say their track record is vastly superior to any comparable endeavor from student organizations (or most incubators for that matter).

Teaching students to do a proper pitch
Teaching networking
Getting a group of 40 people to travel to Silicon Valley to learn about entrepreneurship and meet several high profile founders, CEOs, VCs and social media people.I would say that they have acted as an eye-opener for many students, in a country where entrepreneurship is often frowned upon, by bringing international knowledge and trying to show how successful examples have been built.”

” In my opinion, Aaltoes has been very successful in encouraging people to become entrepreneurs and in raising interest towards entrepreneurship in general. As for myself, Aaltoes’s Startup Talkoot was the best thing to happen to me. It enabled me to find and join a startup team. Moreover, all the numerous people that I have met in the Aaltoes events have given me and my team some very valuable advice. I especially value the “talkoot” spirit in which people genuinely help and give feedback to each others.
“At AES Talkoot, we recruited one of our early employees, got a lot of invaluable contacts and had a chance to pitch and develop our business idea in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere.”
- Markus Bergman, Illtags
“I work in an early stage Startup called Futuuns ( http://www.futuuns.com ). We were really fortunate to get into entrepreneurship about the same time Aaltoes was started. We have seen Aaltoes grow and create an enthusiastic can do attitude inside the university. For us Aaltoes has worked as a great motivator and a valuable resource.
Through Aaltoes events we have been introduced to a large number of like minded people and have learned a lot about enrepreneurship. The Silicon Valley trip organized by Aaltoes was a real eye opener and worked as a great networking opportunity. It really built confidence in us and in what we are doing. At the moment we’re talking with Aaltoes about the use of the Venture Park premices. Aaltoes is offering us and some other startups office space where to work.”
- Kimmo Nurmisto, Futuuns
“Through AES pitch evenings I met my current co-founder Shanfan for project cityard (http://heimoi.com). Awareness of the local talent pool has risen. Tuli (http://www.tuli.info/) has helped us, like Futuuns and others, to get initial funding to get meat around post-it plans and powerpoints. Kudos go to AES staff for their enthusiasm and activity towards making the society an open space for innovation in Finland! ”
